Tall, upright, prairie perennial. Can live for upwards of 100+ years. Incredibly drought resilient with its deep taproot.
Height: 4-6 ft
Sun: full to part sun
Soil moisture: medium to dry
Ecology: Seeds have high fat content that are highly valued by songbirds.
Other notes: Slow grower- typically will not flower until year 3 or beyond as it sends down its taproot. So worth the wait!
