Coastalplain Goldenaster - Chrysopsis scabrella (1 Gal.)

Coastalplain Goldenaster (Chrysopsis scabrella) is a biennial herbaceous wildflower that grows 2–3 feet tall and thrives in full sun with minimal shade. Its bright yellow blooms attract butterflies and a variety of native long‑tongued bees, making it an excellent pollinator plant for dry, sandy landscapes. This hardy species typically flowers from late summer into late fall, though it may bloom year‑round in favorable conditions. Both the flowers and leaves have a naturally sticky texture, and as the plant matures, the lower leaves often dry out—adding to its distinctive character. A resilient, sun‑loving choice for Florida native gardens.
