Alpine Sunflower

Alpine Sunflower (Hymenoxys grandiflora), is a cheerful high-elevation native that brings a burst of golden color to alpine gardens and rock landscapes. Its bright yellow, daisy-like blooms rise above tidy clumps of gray-green foliage, making it a standout in rocky or well-drained soils where few others thrive. This rugged perennial thrives on neglect—needing little water once established—and is perfectly adapted to mountain conditions, from intense sun to cold alpine nights. 

Perfect for xeriscapes or native pollinator gardens, Alpine Sunflower attracts bees and butterflies while resisting deer and disease. Its compact size and tolerance for tough conditions make it an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, or naturalized slopes where vibrant summer color is welcome with minimal care.
