Eriogonum fasciculatum is a versatile evergreen shrub native to the Southwestern United States. It features a variable growth habit, ranging from low-lying mats to mounding bushes. The leathery, needle-like leaves are dark green above and woolly white beneath. Profuse clusters of white to pink flowers appear from spring through summer, eventually maturing into a striking rusty-red color. This drought-tolerant plant is a keystone species, providing essential nectar for bees and butterflies.
