- Comments
- Both native and introduced genotypes occur in Virginia, the native ones (var. lanceolata (W. Bart.) Fernald) being strikingly more floriferous and colorful. However, many specimens cannot be adequately assigned to var. because of extensive hybridization and intergrading diagnostic characters, making only a species-level map feasible. Since it is not possible to map native and introduced populations separately, the species is treated here as native.
- Habitat
- Mesic to dry upland forests and woodlands, well-drained floodplain forests, fens, seeps, pastures, roadsides, and other shaded to open, disturbed habitats. Common throughout.
- Native Status
- Native
