Sticky rabbitbrush is a resilient, late-season blooming shrubby perennial native to western North America, known for its masses of golden-yellow flowers that light up dry landscapes in late summer and autumn. It is exceptionally tolerant of poor, alkaline, and dry soils and requires very little care once established in a sunny, well-drained location. Avoid overwatering or planting in heavy clay soils, as this plant strongly prefers dry, open conditions typical of the Great Basin and Rocky Mounta
