Origin: Native to eastern North America Where it will grow: Hardy from -40 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit (zones 3 to 8) Water requirement: Well-drained soil Light requirement: Full sun to partial shade Mature size: 3 to 5 feet tall and wide Attracts: All kinds of birds, including cardinals, mockingbirds, blue jays and catbirds
