Rattlesnake Master Native to eastern and central US, Rattlesnake Master is an interesting plant comprised of yucca-like leaves with weak spines on the margins.  The leaf base clasps the stem.  It has an unusual greenish white seed head, but the numerous heads are quite attractive and give a good contrast when planted with liatris species.

It is an aggressive seeder.
