Plant Highlights

San Diego Sunflower is a rare, perennial blooming shrub tha is perfect in tough sundrenched locations, and sloped, dry terrain. The plae green, leathery leaves create a dense thicket, frequented by birds looking for seeds. The large yellow flowers are delicate in form and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and various other pollinators. They are commonly found in The Southern Coastal and Peninsular areas, where sun and moisture are more abundant. They can proliferate in the upper mountain areas, if kept moist and partly shaded in summer months.
