Eriophyllum Lanatum Var. Arachnoideum

Eriophyllum lanatum var. arachnoideum is a unique and striking plant native to the coastal regions of California. Its most distinctive feature is its fluffy, white blooms that resemble a cloud of cotton. The plant thrives in sandy, well-drained soils and is often found in coastal dunes and scrub habitats. It is also known as the "dune cotton" due to its appearance and habitat. This hardy species plays an important role in stabilizing coastal ecosystems and supporting local wildlife.
