Coltsfoot
(Tussilago farfara), is a common dirt road, roadside plant. Some of the first spring blooming flowers, it has blossoms before there are leaves. Cough remedies can be made from coltsfoot flowers. The leaves of this low-growing perennial act as a bronchial decongestant and expectorant, and also help the respiratory tract and reduce lung-tissue inflammation, making it a useful remedy for allergy-induced asthma.
