Grindelia integrifolia, or Wilamette Gumweed, is a hardy and versatile native perennial that lights up the garden with bright yellow daisy-like flowers from midsummer to early fall. Its sticky, resinous flower buds give it a unique texture and help protect the plant from herbivores such as deer and insect pests, while the long-lasting blooms provide an important nectar source for native bees, butterflies, and other pollinators late into the season when many other plants have finished flowering.

This tough plant thrives in a variety of conditions, including wet soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, wet meadows, or along streambanks. It can also handle drier sites once established, making it adaptable for a range of landscapes. With its long bloom time and ability to attract pollinators, Grindelia integrifolia is a great fit for naturalized gardens, pollinator patches, and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Bring Willamette Gumweed into your garden for a burst of sunny color and the added benefit of supporting local wildlife well into fall!
