Add item to quote to see pricing

Eriophyllum nevinii is a stunning perennial shrub often referred to as the Woolly Sunflower. With its radiant, bright yellow daisy-like blooms contrasted against dense foliage covered in distinct silvery-white woolly hairs, this shrub serves as an eye-catching centerpiece in any landscape from late spring to early summer. As a resilient member of the Asteraceae family native to southern California, the Woolly Sunflower thrives in full sunlight and well-drained soils, even proving notably drought-tolerant. Typically scaling between 1 to 3 feet in size, it's ideal for xeriscape gardens and adds effortless charm to rockeries, borders, and native plant gardens. Its low water usage, combined with a remarkable ability to flourish in less fertile soils, makes it not just a desirable, low-maintenance beauty, but an environmentally conscious choice as well.
