While A. fulgens and A. cordifolia are both sometimes used as garden plants, they can be harder to find than other arnicas, especially the European native A. montana. Both the North American and European species make cheery displays in July and August of bright yellow daisy-like flowers that dance on long stems well above the leaves. Plants need sun, good drainage, and acid soil, and are often grown in alpine, rock, or herb gardens.
