This colorful wildflower is considered rare and is under consideration for protected status. It is found in a few populations in Greenville County and scattered across the southeast. It has a clumping habit. The flower stalk is branched and many bright yellow daisies are produced. It is suitable for formal gardens and natural areas. The flowers attract butterflies and other insect pollinators. Deer may eat the daisies and rabbits will nibble young leaves.
