Landscape Use and Ecological Function: This native plant is found at lower elevations west of the Cascades. It grows in moist to very wet locations such as bogs, wet meadows, riverbanks, and shallow coastal swaps. Because of this, we recommend growing this plant in rain gardens. It is excellent for creating habitat and is a butterfly host.
