Tussilago farfara, commonly known as coltsfoot, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to Europe and Asia. With its distinctive yellow daisy-like flowers and large, heart-shaped leaves, it adds a unique charm to wetlands, riverbanks, and disturbed areas. Coltsfoot blooms in early spring, often before its leaves emerge, attracting pollinators like bees. Despite its ornamental value, it has been used in traditional herbal medicine for its purported medicinal properties, particularly in treating respiratory ailments. Coltsfoot is cherished for its early bloom and resilience in various habitats.
