Wildflower of the eastern United States, growing narrowly upright from a single sturdy stem, with thread-like leaves providing a soft texture. Equally threadlike flowers supposedly arrive in late summer, although we didn't see any till autumn on our first-year volunteer. Prefers part shade in hot climates, but our plant doesn't seem too bothered by the Texas heat even in its nearly full-sun location. It proceeded to get blown over when a corner of hurricane Nicholas swept across our area, but stayed alive and bloomed by mid-October.
