This is a tall wildflower with upright, branched stalks that are covered with colorful daisies in fall. Purple is the typical daisy color although white or pink are possible. In the garden, it may require staking or pinching before mid-summer to control the eventual height. The flowers are attractive to butterflies and a wide assortment of insect pollinators. Caterpillars of the pearl crescent butterfly use this plant as a host. Many references state that it is deer resistant but young plants need protection.
