Eryngium yuccifolium
Rattlesnake Master

Creamy white ball shaped flower heads on 3-4' sturdy stalks in summer over attractive 3' wide mounds of blueish yucca-like spiked foliage. Good native for drier areas but does equally well in moist soils. Found in tall grass prairies, Rattlesnake Master looks naturally good with coneflowers, liatris, grasses and other prairie plants. The common name comes from an old belief that the plants could cure rattlesnake bites or even keep away the snakes themselves. Flowers dry well for arrangements. Full sun. Height 3-4'. Spread 2-3'.
