Description:

This versatile and easy-to-grow flowering groundcover offers early spring blooms and year-round lush green foliage. Small, yellow daisy-like flowers create a burst of color in March and April. Flowers are attractive to early emerging bees and butterflies. Large plantings create a stunning carpet of yellow in early spring! Once the flowers die back, the basal foliage continues to provide a backdrop of green. The plants form compact colonies in moist, shady or semi-shady locations. Use as a living mulch beneath your summer blooming flowers, shrubs and trees. Semi-evergreen foliage provides winter interest. Great choice for rain gardens, woodland gardens, along freshwater stream beds and lining shady borders. Golden Ragwort is native to New Jersey, with a range that extends throughout the northeast.

Wildlife Value: Provides cover for beneficial insects including fireflies; offers nectar to native bees.
