Rattlesnake Master

Overview

Eryngium yuccifolium, commonly called Rattlesnake Master, is a perennial native to North American prairies. This architectural plant features rosettes of long, yucca-like leaves and spherical, thistle-like flowers atop stems reaching 3-4 feet tall. Thriving in USDA zones 3-8, it prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and poor soils. Ideal for xeriscaping, it adds unique texture and supports pollinators in the landscape.
