How To Prevent Euryops Pectinatus From Getting Leggy

Question

Is it normal for the Euryops Pectinatus to become leggy like in this pic? If not, how do I prevent this from happening? I am in North San Diego county about 5 miles from the coast.

Generally, this only happens for a few reasons. If they do not get at least 6 hours of full sun, then this is likely the cause. If you are sure that they do get enough light, then it could be that the soil is too fertile. A soil test will confirm that. Heat can be an issue, too.
