In much of the world, lilac tasselflower is used to treat all kinds of medical conditions and it’s a source of food to boot. Here in Florida, it’s just another weed. The flowers are followed by rounded seed heads with white, silky-haired, wind-borne seeds. Found in grasslands and roadsides, lilac tasselflower is also known as Flora’s paintbrush and Cupid’s shaving brush.
