Rattlesnake Master Eryngium Yuccifolium 1 Gal

Rattlesnake master is a herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the carrot family, Apiaceae. It is native to the central United States and is found in open woodlands and tall grass prairies. The plant has stiff upright stems that hold striking flower heads, and the unusual clumping foliage adds interest, providing coarse texture in the landscape. The flowers attract many beneficial insects to the garden. This plant works well in the middle of perennial borders or planted in small groups in open woodlands, naturalized areas, and pollinator gardens. Because the plant is tolerant of wet soils, it may be ideal for a water garden or pond planting. The flowers are attractive fresh or dried and make an interesting addition to a cutting garden. Leaving the plants uncut through the winter will add interest to any landscape.
