Heterotheca villosa (Hairy False Golden Aster)

Seeds Per Package: 20

Please Note: Plug orders being shipped have a minimum order requirement of 8 plugs. As the Trees & Shrubs will be coming from Wright Nurseries in central Alberta and the Wildflowers, Grasses & Vines from Wild About Flowers by Okotoks, AB, both categories have a minimum order of 8 plugs for plug orders being shipped.

Description: Bright yellow flowers stand out against the grayish green foliage and bloom from July to September. A low spreading habit makes it ideal for rockeries or alongside pathways and driveways or parking areas. This is a great xeriscaping selection for a prairie garden. Endless flowers mean lots of seed, but unwanted self-seeders are easy to pull.

Found in Nature: Rocky slopes, sunny dry ditches and meadows.

Distribution: Prairies, Foothills, Rocky Mountains

Notes: Available as larger potted stock - pick up only.
