Siskiyou microseris is a rare native perennial from the California-Oregon border region, producing delicate yellow dandelion-like flowers in spring and early summer. It prefers part shade, consistent moisture, and well-drained soils that replicate its native woodland and meadow habitats. This specialist species is best suited to dedicated native plant gardens and may be difficult to source outside specialty nurseries.
