Narrowleaf Silky Golden Aster

Pityopsis graminifolia

Soft, yellow, daisy-like flowers atop silvery-haired leaves and stems create an outstanding visual effect in a fall garden bed, especially when other perennials are played against the silvery-white foliage color. Tough and evergreen.

Cut back old foliage in spring as the new growth emerges. The narrowleaf silky golden aster attracts butterflies.

Heads Up! The Virginia Living Museum planetarium is CLOSED today for maintenance, but will reopen tomorrow.
