This is a lovely gardenplant and seldom seen overhere in Netherlands. It's droughtresistant, likes sun and has a very long bloomingperiod...looking nice in all stages... even with spent flowers. I hope it 's a perennial overhere.
If not...I 'm sure I 'll sow it again.

This plant is adapted to a wide variety of soils but prefers soils which are well drained. It is drought hardy.
American Indians used the leaves and stems to make a tea to treat a variety of ailments,two of which were stomachaches and headaches. The Cheyennes used a solution made by boiling the leaves and stems to treat rattlesnake bites and relieve poison ivy, also.

A great little wildflower that seems to always put in an apperance along the roadways and medians.
It re-seeds and returns like clockwork and you can always count on it to perform. There are few pests that find it attractive, so it always looks nice.
very durable perennial. original plants are 13 years old now (from seed) and continue to perform like clockwork. I have two colors, a solid yellow and a rust/yellow mix. I think they are both columnifera based on the foliage although I am not certain. blooms all summer long. mixes very well with miscanthus and hemerocallis
