This flat-leaved rabbitbrush subspecies is a drought-adapted shrubby perennial native to Arizona, best grown in well-drained sandy or rocky soils with partial shade to full sun. Water infrequently once established, as overwatering can cause root rot. It is an excellent choice for native and xeriscape gardens, providing late-season yellow blooms for pollinators.
