Jacobaea maritima is a wooly white, drought tolerant perennial from the Aster family.
The leaves are silvery-gray, deeply lobed and they are soft to the touch.
The flowers are bright and joyful yellow buttons that appear over the course of the summer.
Both drought-tolerant and winter-hardy, this plant will survive most anything that comes its way.
The Tales & The Botany: Jacobaea maritima
Jacobaea maritima used to be Senecio cineraria but was subsequently reclassified.
She is often confused with Centaurea maritima and it's true - they look very similiar...
For those who want to be in the know:
Jacobaea maritima is from the Central Mediterranean, has a more two-dimensional appearance to the foliage and produces yellow florets when it flowers.
Seneciocineraria is from the Italian island of Capraia, has finer, more sub-divided foliage and produces a three-dimensional appearance and flowers in a purple thistle form.
