Chrysopsis mariana (Maryland Golden Aster) is an upright, clump-forming perennial boasting showy clusters of bright yellow, aster-like flowers, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), in late summer and fall. The sprays of golden flowers attract butterflies but are ignored by deer. Blooming for 6-8 weeks, the blossoms are borne on sturdy stems and rise above a low, sturdy rosette of narrow, spatula-like leaves. Young leaves and stems are sparsely covered with wooly or silky hairs. The flowers give way to attractive fluffy reddish-brown seed heads. Native to the eastern United States, this showy wildflower is easy to grow, low maintenance and is not affected by any serious pests or diseases. Maryland Golden Aster adds texture and color in the late summer garden. it makes good cut flowers too!
