What a superstar 🌟 genus Grindelia, also called gumplant can bloom late into the Fall 🍂
It's a great plant to add to your Pollinator Garden, attracting many native bees and butterflies.

Know for it's sticky, white resin on it florets has been used by indigenous people to treat poison oak and use for respiratory illness.

Love's the sun and is extremely drought tolerant once established!
