Grindelia chiloensis
A drought-tolerant, shrubby perennial from central and southern Chile and Argentina, grown for its resin-rich leaves. Give it full sun and very well-drained soil, and avoid overwatering.
Grindelia chiloensis, the shrubby gumweed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to central and southern Chile, and Argentina. A perennial shrub adapted to arid areas, its dried leaves can contain up to 25% resin, so efforts are being made to bring into cultivation for resin and biomass production.
