The link between the two is a toxic compound produced by this plant which was once used as a means of flea and tick control in dog pens, and so the appearance and use combined to form the common name.
In Leon County’s late autumn, it is one of the few native plant which produces big clusters of tiny white flowers. The perennial dogfennel adds a cloudlike texture to open areas in in the county, and many untended locales in the southeast.
