Oregon Sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum) is a rugged and cheerful California native that lives up to its name. This woolly sunflower forms a low, spreading mound of silvery-grey, deeply lobed foliage that feels as soft as felt. In late spring and summer, it is topped with a mass of bright, golden-yellow daisy flowers that glow against the cool metallic leaves. It is a quintessential choice for native meadows, rock gardens, and water-wise landscapes.

As a resilient member of the Eriophyllum genus, Oregon Sunshine is built for tough conditions. The ""woolly"" hairs on its leaves are a natural defense against heat and drought, helping it thrive in poor, rocky soils with very little water once established. It is a vital nectar source for native bees and butterflies, making it an essential component of any pollinator-friendly garden. Why you’ll love it: Stunning silver-and-gold color contrast, extreme drought tolerance, and a pollinator-friendly habit that supports local ecosystems.

This healthy 4"" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and requires excellent drainage to look its best.
