Pityopsis graminifolia Commonly known as Narrowleaf Silkgrass and Golden Aster. Produces silvery green, grass-like leaves. Its bright, daisy-like flowers are most abundant in full sun. The fruit is a dry, one-seeded fruit dispersed by wind. This is a tough, vigorous, semi-evergreen perennial that does not tolerate soils that are too rich and damp. It has a tendency to colonize, so give plenty of room to spread. Otherwise, prune to fit space just before new leaves emerge in the spring. Will bloom better the more sun it gets. Nectar source for butterflies. Height: 2'-3'Spread: 1'-2'Bloom: August-NovemberLight: Full Sun-Part ShadeWater: Low-MediumZone: 8-11Origin: Texas, Eastern U.S., Mexico Show more
