Elephantopus carolinianus

March 12, 2016 By

Category: Seminum | Sub-Category: Wildflowers

Scientific Name (Genus/Species): Elephantopus carolinianus

Family: (Asteraceae)

(P) to 3′. Elephant’s Foot.  US, West Indies.  Valued for its late summer to fall bloom and large, attractive lower leaves, which inspire the common name.  Bloom consists of many small, tubular, pale lavender disc florets which are arranged in compound inflorescences.  Although a member of the composite family, the flowers of Elephant’s Foot are not daisy-like in appearance because each flower head contains only disc flowers.  Similar in appearance and closely related to the ironweeds (Vernonia).  Forms a nice groundcover in dry to medium moisture soils.  Sun/partial shade.  3 & T1
