USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: full sun, half shade (up to light shade, where it will be more slender), adaptable to many soil types that stay medium to dry (including clay) and are well-drained. Heat and drought tolerant.
Moisture Needs: dry to medium

Black Walnut Tolerant: yes
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: no/mostly yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: it's pollinated primarily by native bees (including leaf-cutting bees, digger bees, and Halictid bees). Also attracts small butterflies and skippers (those are not that effective cross-pollinators). Larvae of several small insects and beetles feed on the leaves, as well as Prairie Walking Stick and several species of skippers (the Hoary Edge, Southern Duskywing, and Northern Duskywing and too (Bella Moth, Common Ptichodis, Black-spotted Prominent, Cosmopterigid moth, Gracillariid moth). The seeds are eaten by these birds: Ruffed Grouse, Wild Turkey, Bobwhite Quail, Mourning Dove, and Slate-colored Junco and also by the Prairie Deer Mouse. The foliage is palatable to White-tailed Deer and other hoofed mammalian herbivores, including cattle.
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: 3.5" x 5" deep pot
Plant combinations: Best for naturalistic gardens, prairie gardens, pollinator gardens or meadows. Combine with other native plants and their cultivars Aster (A. novae-angliae, A. laevis, A. oblongifolius), Asclepias tuberosa, Asclepias verticillata, Baptisia, Echinacea (E. angustifolia, pallida, paradoxa, tennesseensis), Rudbeckia, Monarda bradburiana, Monarda fistulosa, Salvia azurea, etc. and medium to taller grasses. Avoid combinations with large and too vigorous plants.
