Tall Showy Wildflower
"This tall, showy wildflower / sacred herb loves to grow near water but will thrive in the garden as well. They germinate best by being sprinkled on disturbed earth in late fall. In the spring they will look like nettles and stay small the first year with spotty flowering. The second year they will be twice as tall, flowering nicely. The third year they come into their prime and become large specimen plants about 6' tall and will produce broomlike seed heads that can be harvested when they are brown and dry and just beat around where you want them established near ponds, creeks, and ditches."
