Distinctive due to its purple flowers that bloom from late summer into fall and because of its clasping leaves that surround the stem. Height ranges from 3 to 6 feet typically sometimes taller in fertile soil.

It is generally found in semi-moist meadows and prairies. Range is most of the United States and into Canada.
