I'm a native to New York State, but I'm not found wild in Tompkins County. I am found wild in the surrounding counties of Chemung, Schuyler, Seneca and Cayuga.
I attract butterflies and bees including the Hermit Sphinx moth.
Hummingbirds will also visit my flowers.
I like to form clumps.
My leaves can be used in teas.
My seed heads are attractive in flower arrangements.
