I'm native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY
I thrive in any sun exposure, but prefer wetter soils.
I'm a host plant to several different species of Skipper butterflies and moths.
I am important as a source of food and cover for many wildlife species.
I'm clump forming with graceful fountain-like habit.
I have attractive spiky seed heads.
I'm lovely in large groups around ponds or water gardens.
