Notes/Description:
A native, perennial herb standing 10-36". It often grows in large clumps and is an impressive sight when in bloom. This species may be used in landscapes or rock gardens as a ground cover. It may become overly aggressive due to its rhizomonous spread, though this may be preferred in some situations to compete with non-native species.
