Eriophyllum lanatum ‘Siskiyou’, Siskiyou Oregon Sunshine

Siskiyou Woolly Sunflower blooms over a long period—spring into fall—with cheery 2 inch golden-yellow daisies. It grows between 6-10” tall and can get up to 3 feet wide. This tough perennial will thrive in full sun to light shade, decent drainage, and moderate to infrequent summer water once established. The daisies are an excellent source of pollen and nectar and make good platforms for insects to perch on, attracting butterflies, bees and other insects. It is a larval host plant for the Painted Lady Butterfly.

Eriophyllum is an extremely variable species found from the immediate coast to the high mountains of California and into Oregon. The cultivar ‘Siskiyou’ is a Siskiyou Rare Plant Nursery selection. Lush gray-green woolly foliage forms low mats up to 10 inches and 2-3 feet wide with vibrant golden-yellow, daisy-like flowers that bloom from spring to fall.
