Growing Confederate Yellow Daisy: A Stone Mountain Native for Your Garden

Confederate yellow daisy (Helianthus porteri) is a reseeding annual native to a 60-mile radius around Stone Mountain. It's available at Georgia Native Plant Society sales (fall and spring).

Establishment Tips

Place pots where you want permanent colonies
Allow plants to seed in place
Transplant only when very young—established plants resent disturbance
Provide full sun to light shade and dry conditions

Once established, they naturalize beautifully, blooming in sync with the Stone Mountain Yellow Daisy Festival.
