Chrysothamnus graveolens
Rabbitbrush (Chamisa) - Chrysothamnus graveolens.
Medium-sized, up to 150 cm high, highly branched shrub from the Asteraceae family.
Shoots are white-pubescent, foliated, with narrow-linear leaves. Golden-yellow fragrant flowers of chrysotamnus are collected in apical inflorescences up to 3-10 cm in diameter.
Blooms from late July to September. The plant is very photophilous, prefers open, illuminated areas with well-drained soil, drought-resistant, undemanding to the composition of the soil.
Chrysotamnus is sown in early spring in pots. To improve germination, the seeds are stratified for 4 months at a temperature of + 1 + 4 °C.
Strengthened seedlings are planted in open ground the following year, in May-June, as soon as the threat of frost has passed. Looks great in single and group plantings on the lawn, when creating decorative compositions.

Bot. syn.: Ericameria nauseosa var. graveolens.
