Homognaphalium Pulvinatum

Blueweed, scientifically known as Homognaphalium pulvinatum, is a hardy perennial plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It thrives in rocky soils and full sun, often found growing along dry streambeds and in disturbed areas. With its distinctive blue-gray foliage and small, daisy-like flowers, it adds a unique visual appeal to the landscape. Despite its name, it is not particularly weedy and is more often admired for its resilience and beauty. This plant plays an important role in stabilizing soil and providing habitat for native pollinators.
