$6.99
Easy to grow prairie plant. The lobed compound leaves mostly stay at the base; the stems branch at the top and bear crème white flowers with yellow centers. The whole plant is covered with white hair, so the leaves look a bit gray-green. Each single flower is about ¾" across and are similar to a small rose or strawberry flower.
This is a nice addition to cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, prairie gardens, rock gardens, and naturalized sunny spots. Good perennial company will include Agastache, Aster, Asclepias tuberosa, Baptisia, Callirhoe, Coreopsis, Dalea, Echinacea, Eryngium yuccifolium, Gaillardia, Liatris, Monarda fistulosa, Penstemon, Ratibida, Silphium terebinthinaceum, Verbena spicata or prairie grasses like Schizachyrium scoparium, Sporolobus heterolepis, Stipa etc.
Suitable non-native perennials can be Acanthus, Ashodelina, Campanula, Centaurea montana, Dictamnus, Eryngium, Knautia macedonica, Kniphophia, Iris x germanica, Iris tectorum, Lavandula, Stachys (byzantina, macranta), Veronica spicata etc.
Blooming Time: June – July/August: flowers for about a month; the flowers always appear in small amounts
Size: about 2-2.5’ tall x 1-1.5’ wide
USDA Zones: 3 to 8
Culture: full sun, half-sun, adaptable to many soils - neutral, average, clay, sandy, gravel, rocky soils (preferably with some drainage presence). Very drought tolerant.
Moisture Needs: dry, medium-dry, medium
Origin: Native wildflower to most states in the USA except California, Texas and the hot southern states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, both Carolinas and Tennessee). It naturally occurs in dry to mesic prairies (in a variety of soils), Black Oak savannas, and abandoned pastures in high quality habitats.
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes, but it can be browsed occasionally by white-tailed deer
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: nectar and pollen attract small bees and flies, gall wasps, the Douglas moth and grasshoppers. Small rodents feed on the seeds.
