Description
Cup plant (Silphium perfoliatum) bears large, broad leaves that cup 6- to 8-foot-tall stems topped with bright yellow, daisy-form flowers from midsummer to late summer or early fall. This US native is popular with butterflies, bees, and other pollinators when in bloom, and birds feast on the seeds. The cupped leaf bases also hold rainfall, providing a natural source of water for wildlife. And, the long-stemmed blooms are terrific as cut flowers. Cup plant is a beautiful and valuable perennial if your garden is big enough for it! Be aware that it can self-sow freely once it reaches flowering size. Full sun. Perennial; Zones 3 to 9.
Collected in September 2022. At least 20 seeds. Unknown ecotype.
