    This Round-leaved or Spoon-leaved Groundsel is one of several Packera species of North America that are very similar to each other. This species is noted as having smaller leaves that are rounded, oval, or spoon-shaped leaved on the rosette of basal leaves. The very similar Golden Groundsel of Packera aurea has larger leaves of the rosette that resemble Redbud leaves and with prominent toothed margins and long petioles. This Round-leaved species can grow in drier soil and in more full sunshine than P. aurea, and can tolerate drought well. Its native range is from southern Quebec & Ontario down to northern Florida to east Texas up to eastern Kansas, then towards the Great Lakes. It is sold by some native plant nurseries as North Creek Nursery in southeast Pennsylvania.
