Chrysopsis godfreyi (Godfrey’s Goldenaster) is a rare perennial wildflower native to the coastal regions of the southeastern United States, particularly in sandy soils of Florida. This stunning plant features clusters of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in late summer and fall, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Its stems are covered with silvery, woolly hairs, giving the plant a soft, fuzzy appearance.
Growing up to 2 feet tall, Chrysopsis godfreyi thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for coastal gardens, xeriscaping, or native plant landscapes. It is drought-tolerant once established, and its low-maintenance nature makes it a perfect addition to naturalistic plantings where it can support local ecosystems.
