I have not grown this plant. Heartleaf goldeneye, rough goldeneye, roughleaf goldeneye, mountain goldeneye (Viguiera cordifolia) is native to Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and northern Mexico and occurs on mountains, dry slopes and plains, in shade along river bottoms and in canyons. It can usually be found growing in limestone soils in pine forests. Viguiera cordifolia differs from the similar Viguiera dentata in having shorter (< 9 mm) petioles and phyllaries that gradually narrow instead of abruptly narrowing to spreading, herbaceous tips. In addition, Viguiera cordifolia is distinguished from similar other species by its straight stems which are very woody and which are held stiffly erect.
