Ecology: Nectar for bees and butterflies; stabilizes riparian soils.

Fast Facts

  • Grows in riparian, marshy or alkaline margins — flowers attract bees, butterflies, sphinx moths, hummingbirds and provide nectar in wet microhabitats.
  • Dense stands offer protective cover for small birds and mammals and help stabilize soggy or saline soils along stream margins.
  • Plays a role in riparian plant communities that filter runoff and support aquatic and terrestrial food webs.
