Parish’s goldeneye is a multi-branching shrub in the sunflower family that is also known as viguiera, desert sunflower, and cat’s tongue. The rough leaves are dark to true green and triangular in shape, and its flowers are orange- yellow. It is an ideal plant for xeriscape landscaping as it emphasizes contrasting foliage color and texture when combined with the blue-green and grey foliage of many other California native plants. Parish’s goldeneye is native to dry hillsides and rocky areas in creosote bush scrub and Joshua tree woodland in Southeastern California, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. It is a host plant for the California patch butterfly.
