| Common Name | Botanical Name | Image | Comments |

Transplant well. Self-seed extremely well. Considered invasive by some. |

Many varieties, receive only afternoon sun, little attention. |

Foliage looks sad and browns before its time, but spent flower heads last through winter, if you wish. |

Now 3 years old, and nearly 3 feet tall and very full. This is fall colouring. |

Purchased in summer for added colour in containers, unfortunately this one did not survive life indoors over the winter. Lovely for rounded foliage, rather than the points usually seen. |
