It produces clusters of small, white, star-shaped flowers with contrasting yellow centers, and grows to a height of two to three feet. Its leaves are oval and slightly pointed at the tips. The most notable feature of this plant is its production of seeds encased in fluffy, silky hairs called “floss”. The floss helps in the plant’s dispersal

Its leaves are the primary food source for the larvae of the Monarch butterfly, and the floss provides insulation for small birds who use it to build their nests.
