Pilosella piloselliflora, commonly known as Hairy Hawkweed, is a perennial herb that is native to Europe, but it is more specifically found in a variety of habitats including open woodlands, grasslands, meadows, and disturbed areas. It typically grows at a moderate rate to a height and width of 0.5-1.5 feet (0.15-0.5 meters). The plant forms a basal rosette of hairy leaves and produces tall, slender flowering stems. Its yellow flowers, which bloom in the summer, are small but numerous, creating a bright display. The flowers are also attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.

Hairy Hawkweed is valued for its ease of maintenance and its ability to thrive in a range of soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils. It is suitable for full sun to part shade conditions and requires medium amounts of water with good drainage. This plant is often used in wildflower meadows, naturalistic plantings, and as a ground cover in garden settings. However, gardeners should be aware of its potential to spread, as it can become invasive outside its native range. It is also known to be resistant to many common herbicides, making it difficult to control once established.CC BY-SA 4.0
