The tall herbaceous perennial Silphium terebinthinaceum (prairie burdock, prairie dock) can reach up to 4m high. It has a basal rosette of large, paddle-shaped leaves with erect stems covered with yellow, daisy-like flowers. This striking plant forms an eye catcher in the Sky Meadow at the Royal Horticultural Society Garden Hyde Hall, Essex, UK.
