It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms in early to late summer and stands erect at 12 to 24 inches tall. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers.
