A wildlife powerhouse, this hardworking plant belongs in more pollinator gardens. As a biennial, it blooms year two in summer through fall, from the bottom to the top of the plant. Blooms stay open overnight and are visited by many moths. Host plant for the primrose moth and at least 7 species of native specialist bees. (Source: NWF Keystone Native Plants)
