1824Leaves decompound, linear; root perennial; stems many, stiff, angular, upwards of three feet high; ray yellow; disk dark purple. Being a showy plant, growing very tall, and continuing long in flower, it is a great ornament to the shrubbery; the yellow florets, which appear from July till September, are used in North America to dye cloth red. — Native of North America. This species, and also the second, fifth, ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth, are hardy plants, and may be plentifully propagated by parting the roots, the best time for which is in autumn, when the stalks begin to decay. This requires a light loamy earth and sunny exposure.
