Eriophyllum lanatum (Oregon Sunshine) is a compact perennial forming a low cushion of silvery leaves, 1-3 in. long (2-7 cm), irregularly divided into narrow lobes. Both stems and leaves are covered with white hairs. Blooming freely in summer, brilliant golden-yellow daisy flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), rise on long, gray stems. Resembling sunflowers, they attract bees and butterflies. They give way to narrow, smooth seeds. Easy to grow, Oregon Sunshine can be used in perennial borders, along pathways, and in rock gardens and embankments. Great for dry, rocky or sandy soil.
