Don’t let the name rattlesnake master scare you! 🐍🌿 This incredible native prairie plant (Eryngium yuccifolium) got its unique name from a historical belief that its roots could treat rattlesnake bites – not an actual antidote, but the name stuck! What is true about this plant are it its superpowers: a super deep taproot for drought resistance, flood mitigation, soil health, and carbon sequestration. Its roots are superheroes against erosion, and it naturally fends off pests! Bonus: it’s a pollinator paradise 🦋🐝 and adds a unique, architectural look to any garden, no matter the size or style! Go native and watch your garden thrive! This wonderful macro photo was taken by Jake Smith.🌎💚
