About this plant
Golden Ragwort, also known as Senecio aureus, is a cheerful perennial celebrated for its profusion of daisy-like, golden-yellow flowers that appear in early spring. This attractive plant forms a dense mat of heart-shaped, deep green basal leaves, providing excellent groundcover and suppressing weeds throughout the growing season. Ideal for naturalizing in woodlands, borders, or moist areas, Golden Ragwort is a low-maintenance choice that brings vibrant color to shady and partially shaded locations.
Care & maintenance
Golden Ragwort is remarkably easy to care for, thriving with minimal intervention. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage further blooming, and divide clumps every few years in spring or fall to maintain vigor. It is generally pest and disease free.
