Description
An erect perennial with thick, smooth, mostly unbranched green stems. Leaves are broadly lance-shaped or heart-shaped. Blades average 8” long and 5” across. The leaf bases wrap around the stem and join to form a cup that can actually hold water. The blades have coarse teeth and a rough sandpaper-like surface. As a result, seed are only produced around the perimeter of the daisy-like flower. The seed are thin achenes surrounded by wings that allow for dispersal by wind. Easy to grow in sunny, moist sites. Plants thrive in average, moist or soggy sandy, loamy or clay soils. Plants grow 4–10 feet tall with a 4–6-foot or greater spread. (2 in. plug)
