Discover the natural allure of Wyethia mollis, commonly known as Woolly Mule's Ears, a captivating perennial herb native to the majestic mountains of Northern California, extending to Southeastern Oregon and Western Nevada. Nestled within the Aster family, this hardy plant flourishes in sunny, well-drained soil. The plant's unique appearance features lance-shaped leaves cloaked in a woolly texture when young, paired with striking yellow ray florets that bloom from July to August. Growing up to 3 ft in height, Woolly Mule's Ears thrives in volcanic soils and dry, open meadows, showing remarkable drought tolerance. Beyond its visual charm, the plant offers edible seeds akin to sunflower seeds and roots once savored by Native Americans. Historically, the roots were used as a versatile food source and medicinal remedy, featuring antiphlogistic and febrifuge properties. Whether enhancing a landscape or exploring its cultural significance, Wyethia mollis is a testament to nature's resilience and beauty.
