Golden Alexander(Zizia aurea)

From $6.00

I'm native to New York state and Tompkins County, NY.

I’m a short-lived perennial, but will self seed easily

I’m an important plant for many insects including swallowtail butterflies as I act as a host plant for their larvae.

My lower leaves may become dry as I bloom, but don’t be alarmed, this is normal for me.
