Croptilon hookerianum
Hooker’s Scratchdaisy is a slender native annual featuring fine foliage and bright golden daisy flower heads. Thriving in sunlit, gravelly limestone pastures and open clearings, it blooms prolifically in late summer and autumn when many other wildflowers have dried. It provides vital late-season nectar for foraging native solitary bees, butterflies, and predatory wasps preparing for winter.
