Narrowleaf Brickellbush

Brickellia oblongifolia var. linifolia, commonly known as Narrowleaf Brickellbush, is a perennial shrub native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, thriving in arid and semi-arid environments. This species typically reaches a height of 1 to 3 feet, exhibiting a bushy form with narrow, elongated leaves that are gray-green in color, providing a striking contrast to its bright yellow flower heads that bloom from late summer to fall. The flowers are small and clustered, attracting a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, while the plant’s seeds are dispersed by wind, contributing to its ecological role in stabilizing soils and providing habitat for wildlife in its native range.
