Golden Groundsel is one of the cheeriest plants we know. In the right spot, it can spread magnificently, creating a delightful swath of bright yellow, daisy-like flowers in the spring that turn to delicate, fluffy seeds in the summer. When it’s not bringing joy with its flowers, it has dark green basal foliage that stays all winter, providing cover and color year-round.
