Local Ecotype
Perennial
Part sun to light shade
Moist to medium soil
12-24” tall
Blooms in early to mid spring
Low growing spring wildflower with cheery yellow blooms. Ragwort is a welcome early season resource for pollinators. Easy to grow with a fairly long bloom period. Slowly forms clumps through short rhizomes. Foliage is evergreen or nearly so, and the undersides of leaves are often a rich purple. Reliable bloomer even in shade, as most growth occurs before tree leaves emerge.
