Pluchea odorata

Saltmarsh fleabane is a perennial that grows to 1-3? tall and dies back in the winter. A pretty addition to the native garden, the lavender to pink flowers make quite a vibrant display from July to November. Naturally found in fresh and salt marshes, this useful and attractive plant is adapted to a wide variety of soils and sites. Plus, the foliage is very aromatic with a strong camphor-like smell, which deters deer. Native to CA, but found elsewhere in NA and beyond. One of the 50 best butterfly attracting plants for USDA Zones 10a, 10b, and 11. It is an introduced species and a noxious weed in Hawaii. In some parts of the Caribbean it is the most widely consumed herbal tea. Found in salt marshes; wet soil or water in fresh to brackish conditions.
