| Maryland Golden Aster Chrysopsis mariana |
Maryland golden-aster provides a low, sturdy rosette effect until late summer when its flowering branches lift clusters of yellow, aster-like flowers 1 ft. off the ground. The foliage is woolly when young, becoming smoother with age but retaining its silvery look. The fruiting heads of this perennial are attractive. Does well in dry soil.
