It was a medicinal plant for First Nations Peoples who used the pounded and dried roots for poultices on cuts and sores ... to stop bleeding (it is astringent) and promote healing. It is also used to set dyes. The leaves looked nice, the flower looked like it had potential but, it was one of those, look like I'm going to be impressive but not, type flowers when it finally flushed out ... as you can see.
