Chrysopsis mariana
Maryland Goldenaster is a perennial wildflower native to the Florida that forms a basal rosette of narrow, spatula-shaped leaves. From late summer through fall, it produces clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers on sturdy 1-foot stems that attract butterflies and other pollinators. The nectar and pollen of this flower is important for migrating pollinators and birds feed on the seeds in late winter! This drought-tolerant wildflower thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and is commonly found in pinelands, sandhills, and open woodlands.
The genus Chrysopsis is a keystone species.
