Flowers in bright, golden-yellow sunflower heads. Mature plant will have as many as 20 flower heads, all on stalks above the foliage. This is the showiest of the native sneezeweeds. Very attractive garden flower. Uses in the garden: Mostly used as a flowering plant in well-watered parts of the garden. Works well in irrigated rain gardens and swales. Excellent choice for bog garden â including container bogs. Does fine in containers if kept moist. Good pollinator plant; good cut flower. Provides a showy accent when massed. Cultivars âThe Bishopâ and âTip-topâ are suitable for garden use, a bit more showy and garden-hardy, and readily available on-line as seeds. Sensible substitute for: Non-native Heleniums and other non-native yellow Sunflowers. Attracts: Excellent pollinator/butterfly and bird habitat: provides pollen, nectar and seeds for food. Requirements: Element Requirement Sun Full sun (regular water only) to part-shade. Soil Most soil textures; all pH except very alkali (>8.5). Water Needs moist soil until fall â Water Zone 3 (regular water). Fertilizer Âœ strength fertilizer in spring, especially if pot-grown. Other Leaf mulch is best. Management: Provide adequate water. Will reseed in moist areas â deadhead if desired. Cut back dead stalks in winter. Propagation: from seed: easy, esp. with fresh seed by divisions: fall (after blooming) or spring Plant/seed sources (see list for source numbers): 2, 13, 62, 73 11/29/17 * California native, but not native to Western Los Angeles County © Project SOUND

*Sicklepod (Elegant) rockcress
â Boechera sparsiflora (BEH-cher-uh SPARSE-ee-flora) Family: Brassicaceae (Mustard Family) Native to: Western U.S. mountains from S. CA to British Columbia & ID. Locally in the San Gabriel Mtns and possibly the Santa Monica Mtns; rocky slopes, rock crevices, sandy or gravelly soils in Sagebrush Scrub, Yellow Pine and Mixed Evergreen Forest, Chaparral, Coastal Sage Scrub. Growth characteristics: herbaceous biennial mature height: 1-3 ft. mature width: 1-2 ft. Short-lived herbaceous perennial or biennial (often grown as annual). One to several stout, upright stems. Leaves coarsely hairy, some in basal rosette. Leaf shape varies from base up the stem, but most leaves are lance-shaped. Drought dormant. Blooms/fruits: Blooms in spring (Apr-June). Flowers grow in a dense cluster around the upright stems. Flowers are pink, magenta or medium purple in color and have spoon-shaped petals. This is one of the prettier and more unusual mustards. Slender seeds pods are also attractive. Uses in the garden: Good choice for a butterfly garden. Lovely seasonal accent. Does well in rock gardens or around accent boulders. Can be grown in a large container. Good addition to medicinal garden (infusion used for sore eyes). Sensible substitute for: Non-native mustards, stock. Attracts: Excellent butterfly plant. Larval food source for the Orangetip butterfly. Birds eat seeds. Requirements: Element Requirement Sun Full sun to part-shade. Soil Well-drained soils best â rocky or sandy. Any local pH except very alkali. Water Water every 3-4 weeks until Sept., then dry out until rains. Fertilizer None needed in ground; Âœ strength dose, spring, for container-grown. Other Inorganic (gravel) mulch. Management: Prune stems by Âœ their length after blooming. Will reseed if happy. Propagation: from seed: in fall or spring; fresh seed best by cuttings: stem cutting in spring Plant/seed sources (see list for source numbers): 13, 24 11/29/17 * California native, but likely not native to Western Los Angeles County © Project SOUND

Cliff Aster â
Malacothrix saxatilis var. tenuifolia (mal-uh-COTH-rix saks-A-til-iss) Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Native to: South Coast & Transverse Ranges of S. California; coastal strand and coastal scrub and canyons, coastal-sage scrub. Growth characteristics: perennial sub-shrub mature height: 2-5 ft. mature width: 3-5+ ft. Open sub-shrub with woody base and mostly herbaceous branches. Leaves mostly basal, coarsely- toothed somewhat like a dandelion or a white-flowered Chicory. Branches are wire-like. Summer deciduous with no summer water. Blooms/fruits: Blooms much of the year in lower elevations (Mar-Nov) depending on rainfall. Flowering heads typical of sunflower family, white with pink striping, solitary along the wire-like branches. Quite showy, as there are often many blooms at one time. Uses in the garden: Right at home in the water-wise garden. Does well on slopes and in rock gardens, near rock walls or fences. Airy-looking white flowers mix well in perennial beds. Probably fine in large pots or planters. Flowers are a refreshing contrast to dark leaves of native shrubs. Plant makes a nice filler and will re-seed naturally. Very tough plant that looks best in wet years. Sensible substitute for: Non-native perennial sunflowers like Asters. Attracts: Good bird, butterfly and insect habitat: provides Fall nectar and seeds for food. Rabbits like foliage. Requirements: Element Requirement Sun Full sun best; light shade probably fine. Soil Probably any texture or local pH Water Little to occasional summer water once established (Zone Âœ or 2) Fertilizer None Other Light organic mulch or none Management: Little management needed. Hardy plant. Cut back in fall or will gets straggly. Propagation: from seed: ? germination improved by smoke â but fresh seed has good germination with no treatment. Plant in prepared bed in spring by cuttings: ? probably Plant/seed sources (see list for source numbers): 1, 2, 10, 11, 46 7/3/14 © Project SOUND

Wand wreathplant â
Stephanomeria virgata/diegensis* (stef-an-oh-MEER-ee-uh vir-GAY-tuh ) Family: Asteraceae (Sunflower Family) Native to: Western N. America from OR to N. Mexico. Locally common on coastal lowlands and mountains below about 6000 ft.; drier, open places and slopes in grasslands, coastal sage scrub, chaparral to yellow pine forest. Growth characteristics: herbaceous annual wildflower mature height: 1-3 ft. mature width:1-3 ft. Annual wildflower with many slender, wand-like branches. Leaves mostly basal â often wither before flowering; smaller leaves along stems. Root a taproot. Plants have very open appearance. Blooms/fruits: Blooms July to Oct., when much of local vegetation is becoming dormant. Flowers in sunflower-type head. Ray flowers white with some pink or purple-pink. Pollen is contained within tube-like anthers. Flowers occur sporadically on the branches. Seeds with fluffy hairs Uses in the garden: Most often used in habitat gardens (see below). Provides an important source of white flowers late in the season. Works well with native grasses and local annuals. Sensible substitute for: Non-native asters. Attracts: Excellent pollinator and bird habitat: provides nectar, pollen and seeds for food at a time when flowering plants can be scarce. Attracts wide range of native bees. Requirements Element Requirement Sun Full sun. Soil Any local soil; any local pH Water Adequate winter/spring moisture â none required in summer. Fertilizer None needed. Other No mulch or very light organic mulch. Management: Plants will reseed if happy. Propagation: from seed: increase germination with charrate or liquid smoke.
