Hooker's Townsend Daisy is a small, cushion-forming wildflower of high, dry plains and rocky hillsides in the Rocky Mountain region, producing large, showy white daisies near the ground. It often blooms very early in spring, even through late-season snow. Native bees visit the flowers for early-season pollen and nectar.
