'Shaggy Hawkweed' or 'Woolly Hawkweed' (hee-e-RAH-kee-um: vi-LO-sum) The species name means 'softly Hairy.' Very bright yellow flowers over very hairy silver-white colored leaves and stems, a fun addition to the front of the border. Plants grow 9 inches tall. Long blooming period in mid summer. Plants will bloom the second year. One of the neatest and best behaved of the hawkweeds with no runners and remaining attractive all season long. I have never had problems with self sowing, which cannot be said about some of the others in the Hawkweed group of plants. Grow in poor soils, that are free draining and alkaline in pH, does well in sandy and rocky soils. Like most plants with very hairy (downy) foliage and stems, plants do not like extremely wet or humid climates or wet rainy winters. Puts on a showy display were in bright sunlight the flowers are so bright that they almost blind you. Zones 4-8. This species is native to central and southern Europe. 30 seeds.
