5gal California Brittlebush | Encelia californica

California Brittlebush (Encelia californica), also known as Bush Sunflower, is a fast-growing, semi-deciduous shrub native to Southern California and Baja California. It features bright yellow, daisy-like flowers with dark centers that bloom from late winter through spring, attracting bees, butterflies, and birds. The plant typically grows 3 to 5 feet tall and 4 to 7 feet wide, forming a rounded, mounding habit with green, diamond-shaped leaves. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, it is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for low-water landscapes and erosion control. Hardy in USDA Zones 9–10, California Brittlebush adds vibrant color and supports pollinators in native plant gardens. Its low maintenance and adaptability make it a valuable addition to sustainable and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
