Native of the Eastern US. Dark green leaves, with small pale-blue ray flowers in August and September. We picked this up at a native plant sale years ago, and kept it in the main garden for a while. It's not really pretty enough for a display garden, though, so now we maintain it as a tolerated wildflower in our garden - I make sure to not completely eradicate it, but don't reserve a place for it in the garden. Its ready self-seeding tendencies ensure that we won't lose it altogether anytime soon.
