That's it, Mike, and I wish I'd posted a picture of the plant when I first saw it so you could help me out. It took me forever to get an ID. lol These were in the marsh, but I wonder if they'll grow in a sandy soil backyard...
I collected a handful of seeds a couple of years ago. I didn't really know much about the plant, but went ahead and sowed them in the Spring. I think every seed germinated, and now there is a big patch and hundreds of blossoms. It is spreading by rhizomes. It is very sandy where I started them. I have kept the area mulched and I water it when it gets really dry, but they are pretty easy to grow. I do think they would do better if they weren't in full sun.
