Prairie Dock is a robust perennial that has unique sandpaper-like leaves and is cool to the touch due to its deep-reaching roots. This also allows it to be very drought tolerant. Tall towering stalks bear striking yellow flowers, reminiscent of sunflowers, reaching heights of 8 feet or more. This resilient plant can hold its own with more aggressive prairie grasses. It blooms later than other silphium, but it still welcomes bees and birds, providing nectar and seeds.
