Four species of Elephantopus are native to South Carolina. The daisies of the four species are similar in appearance. This is the only species that has upright stems that hold its large leaves above the ground. It grows easily in the garden and is fairly drought tolerant. Small insect pollinators visit the flowers. Some resources say that this plant is deer resistant. Others say that deer will eat a small amount of the plant. This may mean that deer are eating the flower buds.
