Type: Perennial
Habitat: Disturbed prairies
Light: Full sun to part sun
Soil: Dry to medium moisture
Growth: 2’ - 3’ tall
Bloom: White from May- June
Growth habit: spreads by rhizome and by seed. Can spread aggressively to form large colonies
Maintenance: low maintenance in large areas. Quarterly maintenance to keep from spreading in small landscapes.
Benefits: Pollinators, butterflies, bees, erosion control, tea
Info: Beautiful spring bloomer that is commonly planted in herb gardens. Can be used in mass plantings for large areas. Can sometimes flop over in extreme humidity, so sometimes nice to plant next to grasses or sedges to keep it more upright.
