Thrives in full sun and dry to medium soils; drought tolerant and easy to grow in meadows or sunny spots in the garden. Cut back in late spring or late fall to maintain a tidy form.

Forms upright clumps and spreads slowly by rhizomes - perfect for weaving through sunny plantings without overwhelming neighbors. Adds fine texture and herbal fragrance to garden edges.

Native to eastern and central North America, found in dry fields, open woods, roadsides, and prairies.

Fine, thread-like leaves emerge in spring with a minty aroma, followed by airy blooms in mid to late summer. Seed heads and foliage persist into fall, often taking on warm bronze tones.

A magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects - one of the best native plants for pollinator diversity. Its dense stems also provide cover and over-wintering habitat for insects and wildlife.
