** I’m a NA native, but technically not native to NY. I am however found throughout the state and am just too awesome to ignore. I'm nice in a home garden, but please don't plant me in wild spaces.

I’m a pollinator favorite.

I attract butterflies, bees and hummingbirds.

I make a nice cut flower.

I grow in open woods and meadows.
