Genus Townsendia is a category of low-growing, often tufted plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae. ๐ป Think of it as a group of stars huddled close to the ground. These plants are primarily native to western North America. They often have a cushion-like appearance with flowers nestled among the leaves. Unlike taller, showier plants, Townsendias are subtle and understated.
