Field Notes

Description:

It is a small to medium-sized perennial that can grow from 9 inches to 3 feet tall; in gardens it is usually 1.5 to 2 feet tall. Its leaves are palmate and deeply divided into 3 lobes approximately 5 inches long. Gregg’s Mistflower has a tendency to sprawl and with its roots traveling through the soil, spreads out from its initial planting site.

Habitat:

Wildlife habitat yard.

Notes:

Its bloom coincides with the migration of Monarch butterflies, which are attracted to its nectar. Thus, Gregg’s Mistflower is frequently found covered with butterflies during the autumn.
