Jacobaea erucifolia, commonly known as hoary ragwort, is a tough European perennial wildflower that thrives in open meadows, roadsides, and disturbed ground with minimal care. It tolerates a range of soil types and does best in full sun to partial shade with average moisture. This plant is primarily of interest to wildlife gardeners and ecologists due to its value as a pollinator resource.
