Introducing… The
Newest Native Flower to grow in your Garden!
Oregon Sunshine Eriophyllum lanatum
A very showy yellow
perennial about 12 to 16 inches tall that flowers for over a month. A few
flowers are produced the first year, and intense clusters appear June to
July. Grows great in open sunny well-drained soil, even soil pockets on
rock. Mix with purple flowers like lupines or Echinacea for a pleasing
array of color. Attracts a myriad of small butterflies and bees! Very
drought tolerant.
 
Year One: flowering in early
June. Year Two:
flowering at end June.
 
Used as a ground
cover
Mid to late June
just before
flowering.
Makes a great ground cover
as it keeps its silvery green leaves year round. Consider Oregon Sunshine
for borders too!
They start easily from seed
and root cuttings and you can trade with friends.
Seed packets $2 each (add
$.80 for mailing up to three packets) or come pick up your own! Please
call first to arrange a time. Contain more than 100 seeds.
