It needs little water, often blooms for three or four months, seeds itself readily (and spreads from roots), and has a spicy-sharp sage aroma. Leaf color variations, even in plants growing side by side, are very noticeable.
Hairy Goldaster was burned by the Cheyenne as incense to dispell evil spirits. Medicinal.
