This native plant grows all-over around here in sun, shade and moist spots. A late bloomer it really shows-off when autumn rolls-around. We included it in our prairie seed mix decades-ago.
The coloring can range from white to blue although ours generally are pink to purple with variations of blue in between.
It's a terrific nectar plan and I've been busy photographing many of the bees and butterflies paying it a visit.

The monarch butterfly likes it in particular and they are tanking-up on nectar as they prepare to depart on their migration south.
