These plants are very low-maintenance once established. I started the seeds in trays, and once transplanted, they adapted quickly. A great option if you want resilient native herbs.
The flowers are delicate and understated, but there’s something special about them. I appreciate how well this plant blends into a naturalized garden. A great fit for native plant enthusiasts.
I planted these in a tough spot with poor soil and lots of sun, and they took right off. Not only did they survive, but they’re thriving with very little help from me.
I noticed butterflies and bees visiting the flowers as soon as they started blooming. It’s not a flashy plant, but it’s a solid choice for wildlife gardens. Grows strong with minimal watering.
These seeds germinated well after a short cold stratification. I planted them along a dry border, and they’re doing really well. The foliage is attractive and adds texture to the area.
