Hooker's Townsend Daisy

Townsendia hookeri
In the United States: Native · also called Easter daisy, stemless daisy

Honeybees visit Hooker's Townsend daisy primarily for its pollen, with modest nectar rewards from the daisy-like flowers. Blooms peak in early spring, offering an important early-season forage source in open, rocky habitats. The low-growing, cushion-forming habit suits well-drained soils but may require protection from browsing mammals or excessive moisture to prevent rot.
