Golden ragwort is a versatile, semi-evergreen native groundcover prized for its heart shaped basal foliage and cheerful clusters of bright yellow, daisy like flowers that rise 1 to 2 feet in early spring. This adaptable perennial thrives in part shade to full shade and is a champion for moist or boggy soils, where it quickly forms a dense, weed-suppressing mat. As one of the earliest bloomers in the spring landscape, it serves as a important nectar source for hungry native bees and is a must have for stabilizing woodland edges or naturalizing in rain gardens.
