Notes
A personal favorite. This is an obliging plant that grows easily from seed, and does equally well in a meadow or amongst other plants in a perennial bed. Its golden flowers are striking en masse, and it’s one of our longest blooming wildflowers.

We usually have volunteers to share in late fall or early spring. I can also collect seeds upon request.
