Subalpine fleabane is a compact native perennial that produces cheerful daisy-like flowers with white petals and yellow centers from June through August. This mountain wildflower forms neat clumps and adapts well to part-sun conditions with moderate watering needs.
In an HOA neighborhood
Subalpine Fleabane takes more care to keep looking intentional in a front yard. Maintenance level: low. Consider it for backyard or mid-zone beds rather than the street edge.
Works well in: backyard only.
