Summary
Brickellia venosa, commonly known as Veiny Brickellbush, is a deciduous perennial subshrub or herb native to chaparral, open woodlands, and oak forests in the Southwestern United States and Northwest Mexico. It typically grows to a height of 0.5-2 feet (0.2-0.6 meters) and a width of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters). This plant features narrow leaves with prominent veins and produces clusters of small, tubular yellow and cream flowers in the summer and fall, which are attractive to pollinators such as butterflies and bees.
Veiny Brickellbush is valued for its drought tolerance and ability to thrive in poor, rocky soils, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and naturalistic plantings. It is also used in restoration projects due to its adaptability and low maintenance requirements. While it is not widely cultivated, it can be an interesting addition to rock gardens or native plant gardens. It requires minimal water once established and prefers well-drained soils. It is tolerant of both full sun and partial shade, allowing for flexible garden placement.CC BY-SA 4.0
