Packera aurea aka Golden Ragwort

Caring for Golden Ragwort is a breeze, as it is highly adaptable and forgiving to minor neglect.

Clumping is a defining characteristic of the Golden Ragwort, with new growth appearing from the soil surrounding the primary plant.

Golden Ragwort’s native range is Eastern N. America - Newfoundland to Florida, west to Texas.

Golden Ragwort should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Golden Ragwort loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Golden Ragwort prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Repotting the Golden Ragwort should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Golden Ragwort is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.
