Notes
USDA Plants National Database recognizes six varieties of P. procerus, all native to the U.S. All six of the varieties are primarily found in the western U.S. Our native variety procerus can be found in most of the Rocky Mountain states and the northwest.
This is an important larval and adult food host for many of our native invertebrates.
Great for rock gardens.
