Silphium perfoliatum, Cup Plant or Rosinweed, Asteraceae

Genus and species: Silphium perfoliatum
Common Name: Cup Plant or Rosinweed
Family: Asteraceae

Native to North America, this summer perennial is ginormous! It towers over the tallest of humans and flops over with time. It has huge square stems and is great for kids in the garden :)
