This beautiful, erect, late-spring blooming perennial flowering plant attracts hummingbirds and native bees, especially miner bees, mason bees, and bumblebees. It also serves as a host plant to over a dozen lepidoptera species including Baltimore checkerspot and Common buckeye.
This plant is easy to care for and is highly adaptable, growing in full sun to part shade, and will grow in most soil types (clay, sand, loam). Though it prefers moist, well-drained soil, it will tolerate drier soil if at least somewhat shaded. Very dry, very sunny areas are not recommended.
