Bright yellow daisies are held on stalks above the foliage. It has the largest daisies, an inch across, of our native Pityopsis species. This compact plant is useful as a in the formal garden and in natural areas. It can serve as a groundcover, a border or a foreground plant in a flower border. The flowers attract butterflies, bees and other insect pollinators. Deer are known to browse on the developing flower buds.
