Attracts Hummingbirds: no / but small songbirds are attracted to the seeds (Indigo Bunting, American Goldfinch, Slate-colored Junco, and Tree Sparrow). The Greater Prairie Chicken feeds on the foliage and flowerheads
Plant Combinations: Best in drier transition edges of gardens (difficult to predict partial shade spots), or woodland edges, naturalistic gardens, gardens on drained, rocky or sandy soils. Good with many common perennials that tolerate drained or drier soils : Echinacea, Achillea, Agastache, Amsonia, summer blooming Allium, Asclepias tuberosa, Aster, Baptisia, Calamintha, Coreopsis, Gaura, Knautia, Liatris, Monarda, Nepeta, Oenothera, Penstemons, Platycodon (taller ones), Rudbeckia, Salvia nemorosa hybrids, tall Sedum, other Solidago, Stachys, Vernonia lettermannii, taller Veronica, Yucca, and grasses like Bouteloa, Muhlenbergia, Sporobolus, Schizachyrium scoparium, Sorghastrum or Panicum.
