Starry Rosinweed
Silphium asteriscus

Native to the dry sandhills of western Central Florida and the Panhandle. Very drought tolerant once established and long lived. Five years or more can be expected with a little care. Water during persistent drought and fertilize if needed.

All butterfly gardens must have this, top of the list, nectar producing plant. The leaves become old and the plant takes on a tired look for a couple of cold winter months, yet grows back quickly and flowers in the spring thru fall.

Makes a nice mix with silk grass, purple coneflower, salvia, horsemint, blue curls, blazingstar, mimosa, deertongue, pineland dropseed, love grass, pineland petunia, melanthera, scrub goldenrod and beach verbena.
