Pulicaria Dysenterica Subsp. Uliginosa

Pulicaria dysenterica subsp. uliginosa is a lesser-known member of the Asteraceae family that thrives in wetland environments. This subspecies is characterized by its low-growing habit and distinctive yellow flowers that bloom in late summer. It is commonly found in peat bogs and marshy areas across northern Europe and parts of Asia. Despite its ecological importance, it remains underappreciated in horticultural circles. Its ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils makes it a valuable indicator species for wetland health.
