Description:
Silphium terebinthinaceum, a member of the Asteraceae family, is native to central and eastern North America. Known for its resinous sap with a sweet smell, it has been used in traditional medicine. This herbaceous perennial grows 3 to 10 feet tall and produces small yellow flowers in summer. Its large taproot allows it to survive drought and recover quickly after wildfires. It attracts native bees and hummingbirds, making it an important plant for pollinators.
