Design with this plant

Overview

Brickellbush (Brickellia californica) is a charming shrub native to southwestern U.S. landscapes. This hardy plant stands between 2 to 4 feet tall, boasting lush, olive-green leaves. In late summer to fall, it sprouts small, tubular, greenish-yellow flowers, attracting pollinators like butterflies. Ideal for xeriscaping, it thrives in well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. Drought-tolerant once established, it's a low-maintenance choice for adding texture to garden spaces.
