Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium) may look like it belongs in the dry southwest, but it actually grows in the prairies and meadows of the Eastern US! This perennial boasts small white flowers that are packed together in a globe. The result is a perfectly circular bloom that is bursting with texture! Each flowerhead has over 100 flowers packed together, and each stalk can have up to 40 flowerheads on it, making this truly a feast for pollinators.

The flowers may not be the showiest, but that's because they don't need to be. Pollinators already adore Rattlesnake Master - no colorful petals required. They attract a variety of bees, butterflies, moths, and even beetles. It serves as a host plant for the nearly endangered Eryngium Stem-Borer Moth. Try planting it with echinaceas for an incredible floral display!

Healthy Plants Adapted Quickly

The Eryngium yuccifolium (Rattlesnake Master) from Butterfly Bushes were healthy and read to plant. They found a ready home in my pollinator garden. We look forward to watching pollinators enjoy its flowers then using the dried stalks in floral arrangements. Highly recommended.

Plant arrived in perfect conditions, I don’t know why it doesn’t look too happy. I have in a pot to develop its roots before I plant it on the ground but it’s alive
