About Brittlebush
Brittlebush is a cheerful native shrub that brings real joy to any garden. Its bright yellow daisy-like flowers bloom generously and attract bees and butterflies who come to feast and pollinate. The plants have a lovely silvery-green appearance that looks attractive even when flowers aren't blooming. Birds appreciate the seeds that follow the flowers too. It's a plant that gives back to nature while making your yard more beautiful.
Growing brittlebush is wonderfully easy and low-fuss. It thrives in hot, sunny spots and asks for very little once established. Water it occasionally when young, then let it mostly fend for itself. The plant naturally stays a manageable size and won't require much pruning. If you want a native plant that practically grows itself while feeding local wildlife, brittlebush is an excellent choice that you'll enjoy for years.
