This wildflower is well-known among gardeners for its large, purple daisies. The leaves and stalks are coarsely hairy. It is easy to grow in a garden provided the site is reasonably well-drained. It is suitable for anything from formal gardens to natural spaces. Butterflies and other insect pollinators visit the flowers. Goldfinches and other small birds eat the seeds. The foliage is deer resistant but hungry deer will eat the flower buds.
