Hairy Gumweed

Hairy Gumweed, also called Hairy Gumplant, is a standout native perennial that thrives in dry, challenging environments while adding bright, cheerful color to the landscape. Hairy Gumweed forms clumps of coarse, green leaves covered in fine hairs, which offer protection from herbivores and drought. From mid-summer to early fall, it produces showy, daisy-like yellow flowers that are sticky to the touch, attracting bees and butterflies.

• Drought-tolerant once established; water sparingly, especially in sandy or rocky soils.
• Deadhead to encourage further blooms and prevent self-seeding if desired.
• Prefers well-drained, sandy or rocky soils; avoid overly wet conditions.
• Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to rejuvenate and control plant size.
