Here is a lovely wildflower that tolerates both sun and shade, and spreads easily! Flowers that are white or greenish-white top erect stems that reach 2 to 3 feet in height. The fruits are produced in dense rounded spikes that resemble thimbles, earning this plant the name Tall Thimbleweed. Although this plant sometimes is called a tumbleweed, it lacks the characteristic tumbleweed habit. The fruit resembles a tumbleweed in that it is wind-dispersed and tumbles, an unusual mechanism of seed dispersal.
