Moonflower Silphium
Silphium mohrii
Moonflower silphium is native only in the Thrive region, though it’s becoming increasingly popular as a garden plant even in Europe. Its large, pale yellow flowers are produced in abundance on sturdy compact stems, and its large wooly leaves are a feature in themselves. It’s a great choice for gardens or meadows and supports a variety of pollinators.
