Krigia virginica
Also called Dwarf dandelion, Virginia Dwarf Dandelion
Krigia virginica is a small North American spring annual in the daisy family, forming a low rosette of leaves with one or more bright yellow flowerheads on bare stalks. It is a wild plant of roadsides, disturbed ground and rocky woodland rather than a garden cultivar, so it is grown mainly by collectors or for wildflower restoration.
Krigia virginica, also known as dwarf dandelion or Virginia dwarf dandelion, is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. Its native range reaches from Maine to Florida and extends westward to central Texas. It is commonly found in disturbed areas, along roadsides, and within rocky woodlands.
