Canyon Sunflower is found in the
oak woodlands and stream banks, not too far from shade, moisture, and the
coast.
With its lush green growth it can visually cool a section of the garden.
Venegasia carpesioides will take a summer drought but looks miserable. With
the addition of some water it will
bloom all year. A 20 degree frost burnt it back but it recovered
completely. As long as Venegasia carpesioides is growing it is
blooming, the primary blooming periods are spring and the cool portion of
the late Fall and early Winter.
