Description

White-stem Rabbitbrush differs from the species since it has strikingly white stems. This plant will reach a mature size of about 4-6' tall and wide. Fall flowers are golden-yellow and cover the entire plant. Rabbitbrush is not well adapted to the low desert, and will go summer-deciduous. Supplemental irrigation or fertilizing will tend to make this plant leggy. Native across the West, and into Mexico and Canada, from 2000-8000' in elevation.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust.
