Brittlebush grows to 1 meter tall, with fragrant leaves 3-8 centimeters long. It can be found in a variety of desert habitats from dry gravelly slopes to open sandy washes up to 1000 meters. It does well in cultivation and recently has spread dramatically in areas not natural to its distribution. It has green-white grayish leaves and becomes covered with yellow daisy flowers. The flowers will attract butterflies and birds eat the seeds. The common name Incienso refers to the aromatic, resinous sap which has been used as an incense substitute in Mexico.

Grows easily in its natural zone. Plant in the fall in gravelly/sandy soil and full sun. Water moderately until plant is established. Packet will contain 50 seeds.
