Description
Height: The plant typically grows between 1 to 3 feet tall.
Stems: The stems are upright and can be slightly hairy.

Flowers: The flowers are bright yellow and daisy-like, blooming in clusters at the ends of the stems. Each flower head is about 1 to 2 inches in diameter. The blooming period extends from late spring to early fall.
Roots: It has a deep taproot system, which makes it quite drought-tolerant.

Distribution: This plant is native to central and southern parts of the United States, including Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.
Ecological Importance
Pollinators: The bright yellow flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, making it an important plant for supporting local ecosystems.
Drought Tolerance: Its deep taproot allows it to survive in arid conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and restoration projects in dry areas.
Uses
Gardening: It is used in native plant gardens and landscapes due to its hardiness and attractive appearance.
Restoration Projects: Engelmannia pinnatifida is often included in habitat restoration projects to help stabilize soil and provide food for pollinators.
