Golden ragwort (Packera aurea)
It's hard not to like Golden ragwort (aka Golden Groundsel) = Packera aurea.
It's a native across the Eastern U.S. It flowers early in spring, supporting some early pollinators, providing a brilliant yellow in woodlands, etc.
It's a exuberant colonizer, and successful self-seeder, so grows prolifically in nice garden beds.
Happily, it's easy to "control" and share with fellow gardeners.
Here's a view of a patch through the front door in our (small) house in the mountains.

Thanks Lisa.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that it supports some early pollinators. Good idea to give them an early source of food as they look to recover quickly from winter.
