Showy Goldeneye
(Heliomeris multiflora)
This native perennial, formerly under Viguiera multiflora, is a wide-ranging species of the western U.S. It is often found in openings and meadows of the western mountains, from foothills to subalpine zones. It prefers full sun but can tolerate light shade. Showy Goldeneye is easy to establish and is recommended for reclamation and erosion control mixes. It also makes a good summer-flowering component for pollinator mixes.
