I noticed this plant some months ago in one of the beds in the Rose Garden. It's just a chance seed that landed there. This is native. I decided to let it grow and bloom. It gets tall, up to 6 feet. It has been used through the ages as an herbal tea that basically heals everything: bronchitis, joint pain, nasal inflammation, and also osteoporosis and other bone issues (as a compress because it increases blood flow around bones). The flowers are just about to open, and I know the bees and butterflies will love it. I have lots of it growing out in the Meadow normally, but the Meadow is a crispy desert right now because of the drought.
