Understated yet indispensable in the American Beauties garden, this flowing, spreading, late summer blooming selection is one of the most tolerant plants available for performing well in dry, partial to full shade while still producing clouds of small white daisy flowers with yellow to red centers. Even better, it is a great source of nectar for many native butterflies and bees while the seed from its ample flower supply provides food for finches, sparrows and other native birds along with great cover from its sprawling form. Plant this en masse in wooded areas or in more formal shade gardens amongst sturdy Hostas to provide support for its sprawling form.
