Hieracium Nigrescens Subsp. Praeradians

Hieracium nigrescens subsp. praeradians is a lesser-known species of hawkweed found primarily in temperate regions. It is characterized by its dark green leaves and pale yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. This subspecies is often mistaken for other hawkweed varieties due to its similar appearance. It thrives in moist, disturbed soils and is commonly found in meadows and along stream banks. Despite its modest size, it plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and maintaining ecological balance.
