Both Native Americans and the early settlers used this plant for protecting wounds from infections, and even to cure snakebites. It is also antiviral and is being studied in California as a possible treatment for AIDS. A native of central and south-western United States but domesticated varieties are widely grown in gardens across the world. It prefers dry open ground. Perennial to l m (3ft.) with coarse hairy stems and sparse lanceolate leaves also with coarse hairs. Terminal flowers have a raised cone of florets with an outer ring of purple-ray florets and appear in late summer. Easily cultivated.
