White hawkweed is a native perennial that produces clusters of small white daisy-like flowers on slender stems during summer months. This low-growing wildflower forms compact clumps and thrives in partially sunny locations with minimal water once established.
In an HOA neighborhood
White Hawkweed 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.
