Ericameria ericoides - Golden Heather

Description

This small summer and fall flowering shrub ranges along the coast form Central to Southern California. Small grey-green leaves give it a fine texture, accented by showy yellow flowers from July to September or so. It gets about 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Its small size and late flowering make it a nice addition to a sunny garden that doesn't get much water. A great plant to grow near California Fuchsia, another fall bloomer. An annual winter pruning will keep it nice and dense.
