Size: 22-24" tall and wide, somewhat ground covering habit
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: full sun, mostly sun. Average soils, moderately fertile to fertile, drained soils, drier soils. Adaptable. Grows fairly well in heavier soils and clay (avoid waterlogged soils). Drought, heat and air-pollution tolerant plant makes it great candidate for urban landscaping.
Moisture Needs: average (medium) to drier (medium-dry)
Origin:

Plant Combinations: universal plant that looks well in any sunny border, in private or public spaces, cottage gardens, pollinator gardens, low maintenance or no irrigation plantings. Combine with medium to taller grasses and with perennials like Amsonia, Baptisia, Asclepias tuberosa or A. verticillata, Eryngium, Coreopsis, Echinacea, Gaillardia, Gaura, Geranium sanquineum cultivars, Perovskia, Rudbeckia, Nepeta, Sedum, roses or daylilies. Also goes well with plants with more moisture needs like tall phloxes, hardy Geranium hybrids, Lilium or shorter cultivars of Eupatorium.
