Habitat: Open woodlands, cleared forests, dry meadows, creek slopes, and roadside banks
Wildlife Value: Pollinated by insects. Attracts butterfly, bees, birds, and hummingbirds. Dead stems are used by stem-nesting bees. The dried seedheads provide winter food for birds.
Notes: Gardeners are encouraged to cut back dead stems to 12 to 24 inches to provide nesting spaces for bees and allow the stems to remain standing until they disintegrate on their own.
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.
