Easy-to-grow and thrives in moist shady locations. Freely self-seeds and naturalizes into large colonies. Heart-shaped basal leaves form an attractive ground cover as long as soil moisture is consistent. Leaves are dark green above and purplish beneath. Flat-topped clusters of yellow daisy-like flowers bloom in spring on 1 to 2 foot stalks. When planted en masse, lends a golden glow to the spring landscape. Prefers partial shade. If grown in full sun, requires more moisture. Tolerates wet soil and seasonal flooding. Attracts bees.
