Description
Rattlesnake Master is a striking perennial that thrives in Massachusetts gardens, adding unique texture and color to landscapes. Its sword-like, bluish-green leaves resemble yucca, while tall stalks produce clusters of white, globe-shaped flowers from early to late summer. This drought-tolerant plant is ideal for full sun locations and adapts well to poor soils, making it perfect for rock gardens, borders, and native prairie-style plantings. With a mature height of 4 feet in bloom and a spread of 3 feet, it creates a bold vertical statement in any garden.
A favorite for pollinators, Rattlesnake Master attracts bees and butterflies while remaining deer-resistant. It grows at a medium rate and typically lives for around 10 years, returning reliably each spring. Best suited for mass plantings or container displays, it offers an eye-catching, low-maintenance option for gardeners. For best results, plant in well-drained soil and avoid standing water. Its adaptability to urban conditions and salt tolerance make it an excellent choice for city gardens and roadside plantings.
