Wyethia arizonica
Also called Arizona Mule's Ears
Arizona mule's ears is a native perennial wildflower of the American Southwest, found in mountain meadows and forest edges, with large leaves and yellow daisy-like flower heads. It is best grown from seed or divisions in a sunny, well-drained spot, as it prefers natural conditions over pampered garden care.
Wyethia arizonica, the Arizona mule's ears, is a plant species native to Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. It grows in meadows in coniferous forests at elevations of 600–3,000 m (2,000–9,800 ft).
Wyethia arizonica is a perennial herb with a large taproot, the shoot up to 100 cm (39 in) tall. Leaves are elliptic to lanceolate, up to 30 cm (12 in) long. Flower heads are 1-4 per plant, with yellow flowers.
