Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, because they can require patience. I suggest surface-sowing them as soon as you get them and setting the pot outdoors; if you get these seeds soon (in June, while they are still very fresh), they apparently might germinate this summer; otherwise, look for them to sprout next spring or summer.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description

Golden groundsel (Packera aurea, formerly Senecio aureus) is a charming wildflower with deep green basal leaves and slender, upright stems usually around 1 foot tall. They’re topped through late spring with button-like purple buds that open into small, bright yellow, daisy-form flowers. Easy and adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions, it spreads by short rhizomes, making an excellent evergreen groundcover under shrubs and trees and in low-maintenance areas. Golden groundsel is a cute cut flower for spring arrangements too! Native to much of eastern North America, this little beauty can grow in sun or shade (even dry shade). Perennial; Zones 3 to 9.

Collected in late May 2022 from wild plants growing in my meadow in Milford Township, Bucks County, PA (so PA ecotype). At least 20 seeds.
