Chrysopsis mariana
Maryland Goldenaster is a short-lived 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. 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.
