"A nice supporting player in a wildlife garden. My favorite fact about these is that they are attractive to small pollinators that hummingbirds are said to like to catch for their tiny offspring." Sally Ishizaka
"This stays pretty low, is popular with bees, drought resistant once established. Best planted while young because of tap root." - Kathy
