A perennial, it prefers dry locations in full sun.

It did have some medicinal purposes but probably not something we'd try now. A leaf can be held between the lips to relieve the pain of sore lips or the leaves may be made into a poultice to treat other sores. Roots could be powdered and used to help clot blood.
