Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea)


     Golden Alexander is a perennial, native wildflower that grows one to three feet tall. Its tiny, cream yellow 1/4-inch flowers form clusters that are five to six inches wide. It has compound leaves that divide into three stalks. Each stalk has three to seven narrow, coarse-toothed, pointed leaflets. It grows in wet, sun to partial shade in ditches, along roads, in moist fields, and in woodlands and woodland edges. (EW)
