About
A low, spreading, stemless perennial from high-altitude rocky habitats in Central Asia (rhizocephala, with clustered root heads) with deeply dissected, narrow leaves in a rosette and clusters of yellow, daisy-like flowerheads borne on very short stems at or just above ground level in summer. A fascinating and unusual Inula for a well-drained, cool rock garden or alpine house.
