Bloom Time - Golden Ragwort

This is a view of the Mini-Meadow as it looks today.


Golden Ragwort in full bloom, covering the northern half of the Meadow. An excellent native early spring blooming ground cover.

I like it as it is less for me to mow, it looks nice, and as a native it requires no extra fertilizers nor other chemicals. Nor does it need any more than the rain, barring a drought (for which all bets are off). Plant it and forget it.*

The native bees appreciate it as well.

* Ok, you'll need to put barriers around it, lest you want it to take over your yard.
