$8.99
The cultivar 'Silver Queen' offers upright growth, silver-wooly and deep cut leaves. Unique silver look.
It grows best in drier and drained soil (shallower, rocky, poorer, sandy, gravelly, or simply drained soil), because if planted in rich and moist soil, it becomes a bit leggy or even floppy.
Can spread aggressively and even self-seed, so clipping off the spent flowers is recommended.
Blooming Time: August, but flowers have little ornamental value
Size: 2-3' tall x 3-4' wide
USDA Zones: 4 to 9
Culture: full sun, half sun, adaptable to many soil types that stay medium to dry (including clay) and are well-drained. Heat and drought tolerant.
Moisture Needs: dry to medium
Origin: the species of A. ludoviciana is a native perennial to most states in the USA and Canada (see USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: attracts several grasshoppers, and is a host plant for the larvae of one native moth.
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: 3.5" x 4" perennial pot
Plant combinations: more suitable for bigger bed, due to it's size and spreading habit. But can be kept in bay quite easily, since it doesn't root too deeply. Best for naturalistic gardens, prairie gardens, as a colorful accent.
Looks good with perennials like Aster (A. novae-angliae, A. laevis, A. oblongifolius), Asclepias tuberosa, Baptisia, Echinacea (E. angustifolia, pallida, paradoxa, tennesseensis), Rudbeckia, Monarda fistulosa, Salvia, etc. and medium to tall grasses. Avoid combinations with small and less vigorous plants.
