Massively underused in the UK, this South-eastern United States native is only found in northern Alabama, southern Tennessee, and extreme northwest Georgia. It occurs in prairie remnants and rocky limestone openings, often in open, dry habitats with thin soils. Because of its restricted range and sadly severely declined habitat, it is considered a vulnerable species. Distinctive and abundant light yellow flowers on sturdy branched stems held above large furry leaf clumps. Suitable for natural landscaping. Proving very attractive for butterflies and other pollinators. Love this plant.
