Sticky-leaf rabbitbrush
Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus
Sticky-leaf rabbitbrush is a hardy, drought-tolerant shrub native to the arid western United States, producing clusters of bright yellow flowers in late summer and fall when few other plants are blooming. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils and requires very little supplemental watering once established. This low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for xeriscape gardens and provides vital late-season nectar for pollinators.
