Native wildflower to Eastern and southeastern United States, occurs in prairies, fields, wood margins, open woods and along railroad tracks.
Valuable for it's adaptability - grows in full sun, half shade or dappled shade, in average, medium to dry soils, from rocky soils to clayish (not in waterlogged clay). In too rich and moist soils can flop.
And highly valuable for pollinators - for native long-tongued bees (bumblebees, Miner bees, Mason bees), honey bees, moths and hummingbirds. Attracts butterflies and small birds too.
Deer resistant, black walnut tolerant plant.
Hardy in zones 3 to 8.
It's use is also pretty wide - you can plant it in conventional flower bed, or wild planting like prairie planting,s meadows, open woodlands and let it naturalize. Suitable for rain gardens, shorter lasting cut flower, dried seed pods for flower arrangements.
Due to it's adaptability, it can be combined with many native or introduced perennials. It's a parent to many red-black-leaved cultivars.
