I picked the seeds out of a garden a few years ago and this is what I have and sure don't know what it is. The woman has long been deceased. It looks frail but it sturdy, blossoms will continue to fill the stem. Any idea w'photo welcomed much.
close up, blossoms, tall, sturdy, blossoms will fill good half of the stalk, no smell, liked by hummingbirds, fine, short, grass like leaves thick on stalk. Grows from seed.

It looks like a kind of Liatris. Good resource for you may be South Dakota extension service website www.sdstate.edu/sdsuextension/index.cfm. There is also a group called Seed Saver Exchange which is a nonprofit dedicated to saving America's heirloom seeds located in Iowa. Dave's Garden davesgarden.com is an online resource that has a plant ID forum that may also be able to help you. Good Luck!

This is a great perennial that needs very little water. My Granny called it 'standing cypress.'

Scarlet Gilia would be an alternate name for 'standing cypress'. They are very easy to grow and self seed freely.
