100 Seeds Meadow Arnica Arnica chamissonis Wildflower Pollinator Cottage Garden

Meadow Arnica (Arnica chamissonis) is a cheerful hardy perennial wildflower valued for its bright golden-yellow daisy-like blooms. This low-maintenance plant forms tidy clumps of green foliage and flowers freely through the summer, making it a charming addition to wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, and naturalized landscapes. Its sunny blooms are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Grow Meadow Arnica in borders, pollinator patches, or meadow plantings, where its long-lasting color complements grasses and other wildflowers. The blooms also work well as fresh cut flowers. Plants spread gradually by rhizomes to form attractive colonies over time.
