Seaside Woolly Sunflower

Seaside Woolly Sunflower, also named lizard tail, is a compact shrub that grows to about 3′ tall and 3′ wide. It is perfect in a coastal garden, and picture perfect partnered with coastal Lupines & Coyote Brush. A wonderfully easy to grow sub-shrub found along the coast where the gray foliage becomes covered with fragrant clusters of yellow flowers from May to September.  The form is nicely rounded, especially with some tip pruning in the late fall. It’s a great nectar plant for small native insects and butterflies. The frosty look makes it standout, particularly when massed.
