Stemless Goldenweed is a compact, low-growing alpine perennial that forms dense mats and produces cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers in late spring and summer. It thrives in well-drained, gritty or rocky soils with full sun and requires very little supplemental watering once established. This tough native plant is ideal for rock gardens, dry borders, or naturalistic western landscapes.
