Although Michigan is within the native range of this species as usually described, its status here is doubtful. The only collections seen from before 1900 are from disturbed ground at Grand Rapids (Kent Co.) in 1896. There are very few collections until the 1940’s, after which there has been apparently rapid spread in sandy fields and roadsides, along railroads, and in barren disturbed ground generally. Only a very few collections are said to have come from wet ground near marshes and ponds.
The relatively large flowers and hoary foliage make this one of our most attractive species.
