Maryland Golden Aster (Chrysopsis mariana) is a delightful herbaceous perennial known for its bright, golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in cheerful clusters from late summer to mid-autumn (August to October). Native to the eastern United States, this resilient plant is not only drought-tolerant but also thrives in a range of light conditions—from full sun to partial shade—making it an adaptable choice for a variety of landscapes.
Reaching heights of about 1 to 2 feet, the Maryland Golden Aster creates a striking visual appeal in gardens, particularly when grouped or planted alongside other pollinator-friendly species. Its nectar-rich flowers serve as a vital food source for butterflies and other pollinators, offering ecological benefits and adding a touch of lively elegance to any outdoor space.
