Encelia farinosa - Brittlebush

Market price from $8.90 to $20.50

Encelia farinosa is an appealing addition to your landscape, known widely as Brittlebush. Originating from the deserts of southwestern U. S. and northwestern Mexico, this perennial shrub wonderfully embodies resilience with its remarkable ability to thrive in arid conditions. Its size, reaching 2 to 5 feet both in height and breadth, renders it a commanding presence in any landscape setting. With distinct silver-grey leaves and bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom in spring, the Brittlebush promises a beautiful contrast to your garden. Its low water usage benefits not only the environment but also your water bill, making it the ideal choice for xeriscaping. But its appeal isn't limited to aesthetics.

The Brittlebush offers a blend of visual excitement and functionality, delivering both charm and ecological benefits to your landscape.
