100 Rattlesnake Master Seeds Eryngium yuccifolium Native Prairie Wildflower Pollinator Garden

Rattlesnake Master is a striking native prairie perennial grown from seed, prized for its architectural form and unusual globe-shaped flower heads. Its stiff, yucca-like foliage and tall, branching stems topped with spiky greenish-white clusters bring bold texture and structure to meadow, prairie, and pollinator plantings.

The flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making this a rewarding choice for wildlife-friendly landscapes.
