The blooming period occurs from mid-summer until the fall, and lasts about 2-3 months. The flowerheads are not noticeably fragrant. As the achenes develop in a flowerhead after the petals fall off, they are initially green and cause the flowerhead to swell in size to about ½" across. Each achene is oblong, truncate at the top, and tapering to well-rounded tip at the bottom. Sometimes an achene may have 2 or 4 small teeth at the top. This plant can spread by forming rootlets at the nodes of the leaves in muddy ground. It also reseeds itself, and can form colonies at favorable sites.

Cultivation: Full or partial sun, wet to mesic conditions, and a loamy or mucky soil are preferred. Normally, this plant grows in rather wet habitats, but it can also adapt to drier locations.
