Mohr’s Rosinweed
Silphium mohrii
Mohr’s Rosinweed is an upstanding plant in more ways than one. Tall, strong stalks and large, fuzzy leaves make this a striking architectural garden element. Its daisy-like flowers reach towards the sun and shine a brilliant pale yellow, attracting a wide array of pollinators, including butterflies. Plus, it actually stands taller in poor, dry, and gravelly soil.
Conditions: Full sun; average to dry soil
Size: 2′ – 5′ tall
