This cheerful native is one known and loved by almost all! It's hairy foliage and bright yellow ray flowers radiate from a dark, button like center. As a pioneer species, it fills a critical ecological niche by inhabiting open ground and providing a high value nectar source for various native bees and butterflies. Its ability to thrive in poor soils and provide winter food with its seed heads makes it a versatile tool for both pollinator gardens, erosion control, and rewilding projects.
