Scouler's Woollyweed

Hieracium nudicaule

Scouler's Woollyweed is a western North American perennial herb in the daisy family, growing up to about 50 cm tall with yellow flower heads. It is a wild native species rather than a common garden plant, so growing it is mainly about mimicking dry, open native habitat.
