Key Features:

  • Florida Native Wildflower: Starry rosinweed is a tough Southeastern native perennial that returns year after year in sunny, sandy gardens.

  • Golden Daisy-Like Blooms: Bright yellow star-shaped flowers appear from spring through summer and often keep going into fall.

  • Pollinator and Bird Favorite: Bees, butterflies, and other native pollinators visit the blooms, and goldfinches feed on the seeds.

  • Drought Tolerant: Deep roots make it well suited to dry, sandy, well-drained soils once established, with little supplemental water.

  • Low Maintenance: Grows 2 to 5 feet tall in full sun, resists deer, and needs no special care in a naturalized planting or meadow.

Key Features

Starry Rosinweed is a tough Florida native wildflower with yellow daisy-like blooms from spring into fall that feed bees, butterflies, and seed-eating birds.

Special considerations

Rough, hairy leaves and resinous sap are normal for this plant. It does not tolerate flooding or soggy soil.

Growing and Care Instructions

Starry Rosinweed thrives in full sun with sandy, well-drained soil and needs little care once established. Cut stems back in late winter and avoid wet, flooded sites.

  • Fertilizing

    Light feeder; a spring top-dress of compost is usually enough. Avoid heavy fertilizer, which causes floppy growth.

  • Watering

    Drought tolerant once established; water during long dry spells and avoid soggy or flooded soil.

  • Light Requirements

    Full sun (6+ hours); tolerates light afternoon shade.

Healthy, full, and worth recommending

I have filled my greenhouse with many kinds of tropical fruit trees over the years.

The trees I received from Everglades Farm were the healthiest, fullest, and best packed I have seen. They arrived with beautiful green leaves, strong branching, and much better packaging than other vendors I have tried.

I highly recommend Everglades Farm and was very impressed with the nursery.

Thank you so much!
