The interesting flower shape reminded early settlers of someone standing in a pulpit. Retain if present. Interesting in a moist shade garden as its flowers form a small preacher in a pulpit.

Naturally very rare. Please acquire only from reputable sources. Usualliy said to be perennial, but may not get past the first year. Wildflower garden.

Moist wildflower garden. As it is tall and thin, it's best planted as a group toward the rear of other plants.
