A stout, hairy, deciduous perennial with big leaves, very different from the Narrowleaf, also a longer bloomer (1-3’x2’)
Star-like pinkish flowers at the top of erect flower stems (Summer-Fall)
Full sun, likes a little more water than Narrowleaf, but can tolerate more sun and heat, most soils ok
Monarch host plant, hummingbird favorite. Dormant in Fall.
