Growing as tall as 8' and with the capacity to spread, this moisture loving species would be a striking companion species for Joe-Pye Weed and Swamp Rosemallow.

Recognized by the Xerces Society as having special value to pollinators because it supports a great diversity of bees and wasps.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
