I'm native to NY state and Tompkins County.
My favorite place to grow is in moist, semi-shaded woodland areas, but I’ll grow in moist sunny areas too.
I’ve been known to keep on blooming right up to the first frost.
I'm the host plant of the Pearl Crescent Butterflies and other moths and butterflies.
