Grass-leaf golden-aster is a tough, low-maintenance native wildflower that thrives in well-drained sandy or loamy soils with full sun to part shade. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency as the plant becomes more self-sufficient. It rewards gardeners with cheerful yellow daisy-like blooms in late summer and fall, attracting bees and butterflies.
