Mountain agoseris
Agoseris aurantiaca
Mountain agoseris is a charming alpine wildflower native to high-elevation meadows across western North America, producing distinctive orange dandelion-like blooms. It prefers cool temperatures, moderate moisture, and gritty, well-draining soil that mimics its mountain habitat. Best suited for rock gardens or native plant landscapes, it requires minimal care once established but does not tolerate heat or humidity well.
