Golden Yarrow (Eriophyllum confertiflorum) is a tough, low-growing California native subshrub covered in bright yellow flower clusters from spring through early summer. Woolly, deeply lobed silver-green leaves are attractive year-round and give the plant excellent drought and heat tolerance. An outstanding choice for dry slopes, rock gardens, and habitat plantings.

Growing: Sow in fall in full sun and well-drained to dry soil. Extremely drought-tolerant once established. Avoid summer water. Shear lightly after bloom to keep tidy.

Wildlife: Flowers are a magnet for native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects throughout the bloom season.
