75 Seeds Golden Ragwort Packera aurea Perennial Native Wildflower

Golden Ragwort (Packera aurea) is a native perennial wildflower treasured for its cheerful golden-yellow daisy-like blooms that rise above lush clumps of rounded, dark green foliage. Blooming in spring, it brightens shaded borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized areas with an easygoing, colonizing habit that fills space beautifully over time.
This versatile native works well in rain gardens, pollinator plantings, meadow edges, and shade borders where its early-season flowers draw attention before many other perennials wake up. The semi-evergreen foliage provides groundcover interest through much of the year, and its spreading nature makes it an excellent choice for massing, erosion-prone areas, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
