Compass Plant is an iconic prairie flower, named for its remarkably large basal leaves that often orient themselves in a north-south direction. Individual plants may grow slowly, but are very long-lived and have been known to live for nearly 100 years. Mature plants are impressive, and produce numerous large yellow flowers along the stem, that open from June through September. Birds seek out the very nutritious seeds.
Native plants can be grown outside of their native range in the appropriate growing conditions. This map shows the native range, as well as the introduced range, of this species.
