Rockloving fleabane is a compact native daisy suited to rocky, well-drained slopes and crevice gardens in California and Oregon. It prefers partial shade in hot climates and gritty, lean soil — avoid rich or consistently moist conditions that can cause root rot. Once established it is largely self-sufficient and rewards minimal care with cheerful white to lavender blooms.
