Also known as Larchleaf Goldenweed, Turpentine Bush, Turpentine Brush, Hierba De Conejo
The Turpentine Bush is a flowering shrub belonging to the daisy family. It grows in desert scrub and woodland environments. This evergreen and compact shrub is highly valued for its delightful flowers and rich green foliage. Its aromatic needlelike leaves are covered with a sticky resin that gives off a turpentine-like scent.
During the fall season, masses of showy yellow daisy-like flowers are produced at the branch tips, adding to its beauty. After flowering, scruffy-looking tan seed heads appear, which can be pruned off for a more refined appearance. To ensure proper growth, plant the Turpentine Bush in full sun and well-draining soil, while being careful not to overwater it.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
