Description: This pretty, late bloomer is a big nectar producer that will bring Bees and Butterflies into your garden as well as late season color. In the right location this wildflower will produce multiple flower stalks that steal the show. It is also very tolerant of hot dry places where it will be smaller but showy nonetheless. It's a great choice for any hot, sunny, pollinator garden.

Found in Nature: Sunny dry prairies and rocky slopes.

Distribution: Throughout the interior of Canada and the U.S.

Notes: Name recently changed from Petalostemum purpureum.
