Goldenaster is a common name given to at least 3 different plants in Georgia.

All of them are starting to bloom now, so we’ll feature each one across the next 3 days. The first one is also known as silkgrass (Pityopsis graminifolia), a misleading name as it is not a grass at all but has grass-like leaves (hence the name ‘graminifolia’). Silver-colored foliage is attractive year-round and the medium yellow flowers appear in late summer. It is suitable as a groundcover in dry, sunny areas but may be aggressive in garden soil. . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
