A tall, native perennial that produces striking, yellow daisy-like flowers with dark centers in late summer to fall. The plant features large, lance-shaped leaves and sturdy stems that can reach heights of 4 to 6 feet, making it an excellent backdrop plant for wildflower gardens or prairie landscapes. This species thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, and is drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited for dry, open areas.
