Bring a tiny piece of the Alaskan mountains into your sunny garden.
Denali Fleabane is a low-growing perennial herb native to the mountain regions of Alaska. In a garden, this tiny plant reaches only five to fifteen centimeters tall, making it a natural fit for sunny rock borders. It grows beautifully alongside companion plants like moss campion and mountain avens.
Growing this alpine wildflower requires a patient hand, as it is a slow-growing plant with a difficult care level. It needs a spot with full sun and a regular, moderate amount of water. Because it is not drought tolerant, you must keep its soil from drying out entirely.
Your patience is rewarded in the summer when the plant produces solitary, daisy-like flowers. These blooms feature bright yellow centers surrounded by delicate blue-to-purple rays that attract bees and butterflies. Best of all, this mountain beauty is completely non-toxic to both humans and pets.
