by starmoon       more images... Remarks: Rather weedy-looking but thrives in my zone 5 western PA bog garden. Grows to about 5 feet, so I find I must tie it up or else it sprawls after a rain. I use it for its medicinal properties and edible flowers. Hardy & self-sows readily.     by Weedlady    more remarks...
