Mouse-ear Hawkweed (Pilosella officinarum, Kleines Habichtskraut) is a low-growing perennial with bright yellow, dandelion-like flowers that bloom from May to September. It thrives in dry, nutrient-poor grasslands, meadows, and sandy soils, often in sunny, open locations.
This hardy plant provides nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, supporting insect diversity in otherwise sparse habitats. Its creeping growth helps stabilize soil and prevent erosion, while also indicating species-rich, low-nutrient environments.
A small but ecologically valuable plant that benefits pollinators, improves soil stability, and reflects healthy, undisturbed habitats.
