Summary

Miyamayomena simplex, commonly known as Miyama Yomena, is a deciduous perennial herb native to a variety of habitats in South-Central China, including moist meadows, forest margins, and along streams. It typically grows to a height of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.5 feet (0.2 meters). The plant features lanceolate leaves and bears daisy-like flowers with white petals surrounding a yellow central disc, which bloom in the late summer to fall and are moderately showy.

Miyama Yomena is valued for its late-season blooms and is often used in woodland gardens, borders, and as part of naturalistic plantings. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers part shade, although it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. While not commonly found in cultivation, it can be an attractive addition to a garden that aims to have flowers throughout the growing season. There are no widely recognized cultivars of this species in the horticultural trade. Potential problems include slugs and snails, which may be attracted to the foliage, especially in damp conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
