Also known as California Brittlebush, this broad, perennial shrub grows 3 to 4 feet in height and width. Green, brittle branches grow out of the woody base and bear green, oval-shaped leaves, while yellow, daisy-like flowers bloom on long, leafless stalks. It grows best in full sun, and in sandy or well-drained soils.
