Starry Rosinweed - Silphium astericus
 
Silphium asteriscus, commonly known as Starry Rosinweed, is a native perennial herbaceous plant known for its tall, sturdy stems and yellow daisy-like flowers. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, often found in prairies, meadows, and open woodlands across the southeastern United States. Starry Rosinweed blooms from mid-summer to early fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. Growing up to 5 feet tall, it forms clumps of deeply lobed leaves and produces seed heads that add winter interest to the landscape. Ideal for naturalistic gardens and native plant landscapes, Starry Rosinweed enhances biodiversity while providing seasonal beauty and wildlife habitat.
