Hairy false golden-aster is a tough, low-maintenance native wildflower that thrives in well-drained to dry soils with full sun to partial shade. It is highly adaptable to rocky or sandy conditions and tolerates drought once established, making it excellent for xeriscape or prairie-style plantings. Bright yellow daisy-like blooms in summer and fall make it a magnet for native bees and butterflies.
