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

I freely self seed, so will eagerly spread.

I prefer moist humusy soils.

I am beautiful in shade gardens.

I’m the host plant of many butterflies including the Variegated Fritillary butterfly found in our area

My flowers and young leaves are edible for humans.
