Description

You will find this wide ranging species growing in open to partly shaded habitats; ranging from meadow wetlands to trash strew roadside ditches. In the olden days it was thought to be a “cure all” plant with medicinal properties that could cure everything from jaundice to depression. It is the larval host for the common buckeye, a species I routinely see flying in our field. Tiny purple flowers are borne on stiff cylindrical upright stems, although the individual flowers are indeed small, there are always many stems flowering simultaneously on a given plant, making for lots of purple. Plant them with Joe pyes and you will have a spectacular show on your hands. Flowers in late July. Can grow 4 to 6 feet tall depending on moisture and organic matter in the soil.
5 gal size, $24.00 (Seed grown, MOFGA certified organic.
