Rattlesnake Master or Eryngium yuccifolium is a unique perennial with stunning foliage and flowers. The tiny, thistle-like blooms add tremendous texture and architectural interest. Enjoy the globe-like, greenish-white flowers from May through August. In full bloom, the round flowers emerge from well-branched stems, resembling a bustling solar system. Blue-green, lance-shaped basal foliage gently arches around the base of the plant.

This is a clump-forming perennial native to prairies. As a native plant, Rattlesnake Master does well with minimal care and thrives in somewhat challenging conditions. Use this plant as a specimen or add it to beds and borders where it works well near the back of a group planting. Grow this plant as a perennial in zones 4 through 9.

Rattlesnake Master Care

Full sun and moist, well-draining soil will best support Rattlesnake Master. Use average or low-quality soil because too much organic content can cause growth to become leggy. Water during an extended dry spell.

Deadhead the plant if you don’t want it to self-seed. The plant provides color and visual interest during the winter, but it can set seed if the flowers are left in place. Trim the growth in fall or early spring, depending on your preference. 

Rattlesnake Master Spacing

The Rattlesnake Master stands 3 to 5 feet tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. Space plants 2 feet apart when creating a continuous planting.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
