Can grow up to 8 feet tall with showy yellow daisy-like flowers from mid to late summer into fall. Should be grown with support. Prune plants back in June to encourage branching. It prefers moist to occasionally wet acidic sandy to clay loams in full sun. Give it room to grow and spread and you will have a profusion of late-season flowers when little else is blooming.
Wildlife value: Flowers provide nectar to pollinators from July until the first frost. This is a larval host plant that supports Silvery Checkerspot. Songbirds, mourning doves and small mammals are attracted to seeds so leave standing dead flowers into the winter as natural bird feeders. Members of the genus support specialized bees
Earth Sangha Inventory
Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a nonprofit public charity based in the Washington, DC, region. The Wild Plant Nursery is the most comprehensive source of local-ecotype, native plants in the Washington DC region, and the region’s only facility dedicated exclusively to this type of propagation. “Local-ecotype” plants are propagated from local, wild, naturally-occurring populations and are well-adapted to local conditions and for wildlife species that depend on the local forms, such as pollinators. Inventory is updated on a weekly basis so number may not be accurate.
