The plant is common on road verges, waysides, and woodland edges. Flower spikes can reach 1.5 m and bloom from summer into autumn. Bees and butterflies visit the flowers, making it both colourful and valuable for wildlife.
It was valued for its high mucilage content, which historical practitioners relied upon to soothe inflamed respiratory tracts and digestive linings.
