squaw-weed

Senecio obovatus

Loose umbels of yellow flowers are produced from early April through June on 12″ stems. The semievergreen foliage is rounded and serrated along the edges. Plants spread slowly by underground stems. Grows well in dry shade. 

I have this in a sunny and dry spot and it does well there too.

Prefers rich soil and and average moisture. Will grow in dry shade.The base of the plant is only 4 inches.  
This is a very hardy plant here in Nebraska and it is a Missouri Native plant.  I love the long bloom period of this plant. In my Garden, It is one of my earliest bloomers and continues to bloom into June.  

I picked up this plant at a Garden Club plant sale from a member's Garden.
