Eriodictyon
crassifolium is a medium sized open shrub, often growing 4-8 feet
tall. In the garden the plants often cast off much of the length of
a flowering branch after the blooming is complete. Eriodictyon
crassifolium will look better for a significant pruning after
blooming. Felt leaved Yerba Santa grows in full sun on a variety of
soil types and is a good plant for stabilizing slopes in a dry
garden. Eriodictyon produces lavender blue flowers in the Spring and
Summer. Eriodictyon crassifolium is great for the butterfly
garden and is good for attracting the Buckeye, Swallowtails, and
Checkerspots. Eriodictyon crassifolium is Winter hardy to the mid
teens.
