Yellow hawkweeds are similar to orange hawkweed but have yellow disk flowers. There are both native (not invasive) and non-native (invasive) yellow hawkweeds in BC. In contrast to native hawkweeds, invasive hawkweeds are low growing and very invasive in lawns, pastures, roadsides and waste areas. Hawkweeds displace native vegetation.
