Fiddleleaf hawksbeard is a native perennial wildflower that produces cheerful yellow dandelion-like blooms on slender stems in meadows and open slopes. It grows best in average, well-drained soils with partial to full sun and requires minimal care once established. This plant is an excellent addition to native meadow gardens and naturalized areas, providing early nectar for bees and butterflies.
