Hieracium Hypoleucum

Hieracium hypoleucum, commonly known as the white hawkweed, is a striking member of the sunflower family native to Europe and parts of Asia. This plant is characterized by its tall, slender stems and clusters of small, white to pale yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. It thrives in meadows, grasslands, and disturbed soils, often forming dense patches that can dominate the landscape. Despite its beauty, it is considered invasive in some regions, outcompeting native flora and altering local ecosystems. Its unique appearance and ecological impact make it a subject of both admiration and concern in botanical studies.
