Viguiera laciniata - San Diego County Viguiera

Description

An easy to grow Aster native to coastal scrub and chaparral Los Angeles down into Sonora and Baja.  Yellow sunflower-esque disk/ray flowers sit atop bright green mounding foliage.  Leaves are lanceolate and resinous.  This plant wants full sun and is extremely drought tolerant, likes to be planted on a slope or somewhere with decent drainage.  Totally deer resistant and wonderful for pollinators.  Not exactly a staple of the Northern Californian garden... but would be great somewhere hot and dry that doesn't need much tending to.
