Sun: Full sun
Soil: Well-drained, dry to moderately dry; sandy, rocky, or loamy
Height: 1–3 feet
Bloom: June–August
A deep-rooted native perennial of dry prairies, rocky plains, and open grasslands, including northern New Mexico. Its roots reach well below those of many prairie grasses, helping the plant withstand drought and summer heat. The roots have a long history of use in North American herbal traditions and are traditionally prepared as teas, tinctures, and other herbal preparations. Its pale pink flowers are especially attractive to butterflies and long-tongued native bees, making it valuable both as a medicinal plant and as part of a diverse, drought-tolerant native planting.
