Notes/Description:
Native, perennial herb that grows 3-5'. A wonderful plant for wetlands and landscape designs. It has a fibrous root system that is beneficial in stabilizing stream banks, shores, and vegetated swales. It tends to be aggressive and forms large clumps, although that characteristic may be desirable to deter other invasive or non-native species during establishment.
