Non Native although popular in many MA gardens and loved by pollinators, hummingbirds & gold finches. It is not considered invasive
Perennial Herb/Flower drought tolerant and grows to 4Ft High (doesn't usually bloom in its first year)
Its Blooms are pink to purple from July to September and is much loved by pollinators. (Frequented by Monarchs & Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterflies) Birds love the seeds in the fall to winter (so do not cut them back). Dead heading early in the season can bring more blooms.
Prefers: Full to Partial Sun Soil: Medium-Wet, to Medium-Dry
Can be used as a tea or tinctures
In Middlesex county Massachusetts I have found that the deer love it. So surrounding it with mountain mints or other deer resistant plants usually are enough to keep them away.
Self seed( when the birds drop a few seeds) and slowly spreads by rhizomes.
