Golden Groundsel (Packera aurea) is a vibrant shade-loving perennial that brightens woodland spaces with heart-shaped green leaves and cheerful golden daisy-like flowers from April to June. Reaching 12-24 inches tall, its nectar-rich blooms attract early pollinators while its dense foliage forms a weed-suppressing mat that often persists through winter. Adaptable and low-maintenance, it thrives in moist soils yet tolerates drought once established, making it perfect for softening stream banks, rain gardens, or shady slopes with effortless, wild charm. Scientific Name: Packera aurea Origin: Eastern North America Height: 1–2 feet Spread: 1–2 feet Light: Partial to full shade Water: Medium to high Blooms: April–June. USDA Zones: 3–8 Show more
