Beach aster is a coastal survivor 🌊🌼
It thrives on cliffs and dunes where most plants give up
Thick, silvery leaves reflect sun and hold moisture, and tiny leaf hairs trap salt and cut evaporation—letting it flourish in wind, sand, and salty spray

The flowers may be small, but they appear in abundance, creating cheerful splashes of color that draw the eye and invite pollinators from near and far
Sow from late fall through early spring, on the surface of a well-draining soil to establish roots before summer drought

Golden yarrow isn’t a true yarrow—it’s in a different genus but still part of the daisy family🌼
It loves sunny, dry hillsides and pairs beautifully with sages, buckwheats, and native grasses
Great for pollinators, drought-tolerant, and perfect for echoing California’s wild beauty
