This native robust perennial resembles a desert plant and is often compared to a yucca. Rattlesnake Master, Eryngium yuccifolium, is a unique wildflower best known for its clusters of up to 10 bristly, spherical flowers that are white with green or blue tint. Forming a dense clump, the narrow, sword-shaped leaves are silvery blue-green in color and grow from a rosette (basal). This plant will stand out in any garden, individually or in groups. Attractive to a variety of pollinators, the highly textured flowers and leaves are unpalatable to both deer and rabbits. Native Americans brewed a tea from the root as an antidote to rattlesnake venom.
