Tall Thimbleweed is a versatile plant with long-lasting, off-white flowers. The thimble-like seed heads, which become fluffy as they disperse their seeds, provide multi-season interest, making this plant a standout in gardens. It thrives in open woods, clearings, meadows, or prairies, and is particularly striking in woodland gardens in July when many other plants aren't flowering. Deer and other mammals typically avoid it due to a chemical in the plant that causes blistering, making it a great choice for areas with high deer populations. Tall Thimbleweed is adaptable to various soil types and is easily propagated by seed, adding both beauty and whimsy to gardens.
