Description
Easily grown from seed, very effective in the wildflower garden, this species can even grow in a tiny fault in solid limestone. Its leaves are thick and gray and have a velvety texture. Yellow flowers are few to several in spikelike racemes. It is often used as a background or specimen plant. A tea brewed from the leaves has a strong laxative effect.
Pollinators seem to like the bloom!
