Grindelia integrifolia, commonly called Puget Sound Gumweed, is a native perennial prized for supporting pollinators and enhancing garden color. Featuring upright, softly hairy stems, it blooms bright yellow, daisy-like flowers from early summer through fall. Thriving in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-poor soils, this drought-resistant species is ideal for sustainable landscaping. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Grindelia integrifolia plays a vital ecological role by attracting native bees, butterflies, flies, wasps, and other beneficial insects, while also providing essential nectar, pollen, and serving as a host for butterfly larvae.
