Eriophyllum
confertiflorum is a great plant for the dry garden due to the early and
long lasting blooming season. This small
herbaceous shrub starts blooming in the late winter and continues through most of the spring.
Eriophyllum confertiflorum grows
primarily on east facing slopes on well drained soils or in lightly shaded
areas. I like it for its
brilliant golden flowers as well as for the finely dissected gray foliage.
Eriophyllum is recognizable enough that I can see it while buzzing down
the highway and take a little joy at knowing what I saw.
