Fox-and-cubs
Pilosella aurantiaca
Fox-and-cubs produces vivid orange daisy-like flowers and spreads vigorously by stolons, making it a striking but potentially invasive groundcover in lawns and meadows. Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade, and water regularly during establishment. Be prepared to manage its spread by mowing or edging, as it can crowd out neighbouring plants if left unchecked.
