Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus subsp. lanceolatus

This lance-leaved rabbitbrush subspecies is a tough, resinous shrubby perennial native to western North American sagebrush country, producing clusters of bright yellow flowers in late summer and fall. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils and tolerates dry, harsh conditions with minimal supplemental watering. Plant in a full-sun or lightly shaded spot and avoid rich soils or excessive moisture, which can cause leggy growth.
