A good backbone plant for the late summer and fall border.

Plant Care:
Does not usually need staking. Best in a moist soil, but will tolerate short periods of dry. Will tolerate quite a bit of wet. Easy to divide in spring or fall every 3-4 years. Responds well to "pinching" like a mum to promote bushiness. Disease and pest free.
