20 Seeds Meadow Arnica Arnica chamissonis Native Wildflower Yellow Blooms

Meadow Arnica (Arnica chamissonis) is a hardy native wildflower valued for its cheerful, daisy-like yellow blooms and its role in natural meadow and pollinator gardens. This perennial species forms clumps of bright green foliage that produce a profusion of golden flowers through the summer months, creating a warm, wildflower aesthetic in borders, prairies, and informal landscapes. It is a dependable choice for gardeners seeking regionally appropriate plants that support bees and other beneficial insects.
Meadow Arnica works well in cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and native meadow mixes, where its blooms provide season-long color and forage. The flowers can be cut for fresh arrangements, and the plant's steady growth habit makes it a low-maintenance addition to sunny, open sites. It prefers moist but well-drained soils and, once established, tolerates periodic dryness. Space plants to allow good air movement, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
