Cowpen Daisy, Golden Crownbeard, Butter Daisy
Verbesina encelioides (Golden Crownbeard) is a fast-growing annual boasting masses of bright yellow flowers, up to 2 in. across (5 cm), atop upright, stiff, branched stems clad with alternate or opposite, toothed, nearly triangular, silvery green leaves. Blooming from spring to fall, each blossom features 8-15 yellow rays, notch-tipped, and a center flower disk packed with 80 to 150 tubular yellow florets. A host to butterflies and moths, this US native likes to grow in disturbed soils where it makes an impressive display over a long season. Golden Crownbeard brings prairie charm along a wall of fence and is perfect for wildflower gardens.
