Golden Ragwort (Packera aurea)

Golden Ragwort (Packera aurea) is an evergreen native ground cover with adorable, daisy-like yellow flowers that appear for around three weeks in May. Ragwort is an excellent choice for restoration projects with invasive plant pressure because it can hold its own against many aggressive plants.
