Summary

Brickellia grandiflora, commonly known as Tasselflower Brickellbush, is a deciduous perennial subshrub or herb native to open woodlands, forest edges, and rocky slopes in the Southwestern United States, particularly in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. It typically grows to a height of up to 70 centimeters with a few-branched stem structure. The plant is notable for its clusters of small, fluffy, yellow and white flowers that bloom in the summer, adding a subtle charm to the garden landscape. The flowers are not particularly showy but do attract pollinators such as butterflies and bees.

Tasselflower Brickellbush is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in challenging environments, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and naturalistic plantings. It is often used in native plant gardens, rock gardens, and as a border plant. This plant prefers full sun to part shade and requires low amounts of water once established, making it an easy-care option for gardeners. It is best suited to well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of soil types, from sandy to loamy. While generally pest and disease-free, it can occasionally suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
