Viguiera dentata
Also called Golden Eye, Plateau Golden Eye, Sunflower Golden Eye, Sunflower Goldeneye, Toothleaf
A perennial, shrub-like wildflower of the daisy family with bright yellow flower heads, common and weedy across its native range from the southwestern US through Mexico and Central America. It is tough and drought tolerant, needing full sun and well-drained soil.
Viguiera dentata, known variously as sunflower goldeneye, toothleaf goldeneye and other names, is a common—sometimes abundant—and weedy wildflower species throughout its mostly neotropical distribution area. At its flowering peak it may present spectacular displays. It belongs to the family Asteraceae.
Viguiera dentata occurs in the Southwestern United States in the states of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Mostly, however, the species is native throughout Mexico, Cuba and Central America, entering South America in Colombia.
