Oregon Sunshine

Oregon Sunshine (Eriophyllum lanatum) brings a burst of glowing color to dry, sunny spaces with minimal fuss. This compact, mounding perennial forms a soft, silvery mat of woolly foliage that shimmers even when not in bloom. Come late spring, it erupts with daisy-like golden flowers that practically sparkle in the summer sun, creating a long-lasting display that’s irresistible to bees and butterflies.

Perfect for rock gardens, slopes, and xeriscapes, Oregon Sunshine thrives in lean, well-drained soils where many plants struggle. Its high drought tolerance and deer resistance make it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for tough spots that still deserve a touch of sunshine. Whether you’re filling gaps in a native garden or adding a cheerful groundcover to a dry border, this mountain-hardy perennial delivers easy charm all season long.
