Zizia aurea is a wetland member of the Carrot Family, known for its airy umbels of brilliant gold flowers.

It thrives in USDA zones 3 to 8, growing 2-3 feet in height, and prefers moist prairies and sunny meadows. Zizia aurea naturalizes and self-seeds, making it a valuable addition to wildlife gardens.
