Tragopogon orientalis
Tragopogon orientalis
Eastern salsify (Tragopogon orientalis) is an undemanding perennial wildflower with bright yellow daisy-like blooms that open in the morning sun. It adapts well to average soils and requires little supplemental watering once established, making it ideal for naturalistic or wildflower gardens. Allow seed heads to form at season's end for self-seeding and to attract seed-eating birds.
