Dotted Gayfeather, a native perennial of warm seasons, graces landscapes with its slender stature, typically reaching heights between 1 to 2 feet.

Beyond its adaptability to challenging soil types and climates, Dotted Gayfeather boasts a remarkable allure for pollinating insects. Its vibrant blooms, adorned with intricate patterns, serve as an irresistible source of nectar, attracting a diverse array of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to the garden.

By cultivating Dotted Gayfeather, gardeners not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of their landscapes but also play a crucial role in supporting pollinator populations and fostering ecological balance.
