‘Siskiyou’ Woolly Sunflower is a long-blooming perennial known for its vibrant yellow, daisy-like flowers and soft, silvery foliage. Blooming from late spring into summer, it provides a steady nectar source for bees and other pollinators.

Its compact, mounding habit makes it well suited for borders, rock gardens, and smaller planting areas where consistent color is desired. The fine texture of its foliage contrasts nicely with broader-leaved plants.

This selection thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, performing especially well in lean, rocky conditions where many other plants struggle. Once established, it requires minimal irrigation and is highly drought tolerant.

Low maintenance and adaptable, it benefits from occasional deadheading to extend bloom. Avoid overly rich soils or excessive water, which can lead to leggier growth. A reliable choice for brightening dry gardens.
