Pseudognaphalium californicum
Also called California Cudweed, California Everlasting, California Rabbit Tobacco
A native annual or biennial herb of the western North American daisy family, growing 20 to 80 cm tall with scented leaves and white flower clusters. It is a wild plant of chaparral and open habitats rather than a common garden subject, so grow it in full sun in lean, well-drained soil.
Pseudognaphalium californicum (syn. Gnaphalium californicum) is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by several common names, including ladies' tobacco, California rabbit tobacco, California cudweed, and California everlasting.
The plant is native to the west coast of North America from Washington to Baja California, where it is a member of the flora of many habitats, including chaparral.
