Overview
A native shrub from the southwestern US, Cercocarpus intricatus (Littleleaf Mountain Mahogany) features attractive silvery evergreen foliage for year-round interest and bird habitat. Its compact size and outstanding durability make it an excellent choice for hedging and xeric landscaping. In mid-spring, the shrub is covered in plumes of tiny pale flowers, which are pollinated by small native bees to create feathery seed tails that catch the afternoon light. A 2009 Plant Select® selection.
