Packera aurea
Packera aurea
Golden groundsel (Packera aurea) is a cheerful native wildflower that brightens shady and woodland garden spots with bright yellow daisy-like blooms in early spring. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and tolerates deep shade, making it an ideal groundcover under trees or along stream edges. Once established, it spreads gently to form attractive colonies with minimal care needed.
