"Unfortunately, the plant arrived damaged. It came in a suitably tall box but the corner pin (notch in the box) used to anchor the pot in place was askew allowing the pot, dirt and plant to thrash about and breaking the main stem. I'm confident it will recover and some day, be a nice addition to the garden."
"This bush is a good way for me to slowly add some plants that are more native to my area of Nevada. I enjoy seeing this plant in nature on my adventures and now I can see it at home too. It's really taking off quickly with new growth and it's only been in the yard five weeks. Very little watering has been needed to get itself established."
Atriplex canascens (Fourwing Saltbush) is a remarkably resilient plant native to some of the harshest environments in the Intermountain, Great Plains, and Great Basin regions of the west. Soft, velvety foliage has a distinctive silvery sheen which not only adds visual interest to your garden, but helps the plant reflect sunlight in hot, arid climates. This highly drought-tolerant shrub has a wide and dense growth habit, making a perfect living hedge or privacy screen that blends seamlessly with your surrounding environment. Deep root systems also help to stabilize the soil, making it useful for erosion control in vulnerable areas.
A. canascens is one of the most important and widely distributed native shrubs on rangelands in the West. It provides highly nutritious browse for deer, bighorn sheep, antelope, and elk, especially during the fall and winter months. Dense foliage provides shelter and nesting sites for birds and small mammals. Its seeds, fruits, and foliage, feed a variety of small mammals and birds. The plant’s flowers, though small and inconspicuous, attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Fourwing Saltbush prefers full sun and well-drained soil but is highly adaptable and can tolerate a range of soil types, including those with high salinity. This makes it an excellent choice for coastal gardens or areas with poor soil quality. Once established, this xeric perennial requires little to no supplemental watering.
