In late spring, Mule's Ears (Wyethia amplexicaulis) begin to open, with large yellow flowers accenting bright green lance-shaped leaves and attracting pollinators from miles around. Plant the seeds of this Western native wildflower to grow a carpet of sunshine and deep root systems that help prevent erosion., At High Country Gardens, all seeds are non-GMO, neonicotinoid-free, and guaranteed to grow. Perennial.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
(12-32" tall) Pluck one of the bright green leaves
and imagine it perched on a mule's head, and you'll quickly see how the Mule's
Ears plant got its name. What the name doesn't describe is how bright and
cheerful the sunflower-like blossoms are! Mule's Ears blooms from late spring
to early summer with large yellow flowers that attract butterflies, bees, and
birds. The plant thrives in full sun and adapts to most soil types, as long as
they're well-drained. In its native habitat on open hillsides and meadows in
the Mountain West, Mule's Ears forms dense stands that not only bloom
beautifully, but also provide cover for birds and small mammals. The plant's
extensive root system holds soil in place, helping prevent erosion. Grow a
carpet of sunshine!
