Pinaleño Mountain rubberweed is a wild perennial herb of the daisy family, native to mountain areas of Arizona and New Mexico, growing up to about 1.5 m tall with threadlike leaves and clusters of small yellow flower heads. It is a native wildflower rather than a common garden plant, so it is best grown in open, well-drained, sunny spots that mimic its dry mountain habitat.
