I'm a native of New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

I’m a shrub

My flowers attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and many other pollinators.

I love to live in wet places and do well in larger rain gardens, pond margins and woodland edges.

As I get older my lower branches often begin to look like a cluster of attractive twisted trunks.
