Someone did suggest that I send photos to a local botanical garden to see if they had an answer. Other than the crazy-looking heads that bend and change shape slightly everyday, it's a very healthy looking second year plant. It is in a full sun location. It's in the same bed where I have Liatris ligulistylis which is doing very well also, with heads that are straight (they do bend over slightly if it rains, but straighten back up quickly). The soil has some clay, but I did amend with compost and some sand. I see no evidence of any pests on the leaves or in the soil near the plant. Michele |
