This wildflower is native to much of central and eastern United States. It is a fantastic pollinator for the bees and butterflies. They use the flower as shelter and nectar. It is perfect for gardening and landscaping due to it's huge bushy features and bright purple flower head.

We recommend a three gallon pot, but definitely nothing smaller than one gallon.
