Has a softer, less woody appearance and prefers a higher water table and more moisture than it’s sagebrush cousins.  Will even tolerate periodic seasonal flooding.  Typically found at higher elevations.  Is moderately palatable for livestock and is great forage for wildlife in winter months.  Blooms yellow July-September, 1-3′ tall with gray-green foliage and a very distinct aroma, especially after rainfall.

The post PRUNUS BESSYII, Western Sand Cherry 1 gallon appeared first on Plants of the Wild.

Also known as Bog Birch.  Low, spreading, deciduous shrub with small oval-shaped, thick leathery leaves and small “wart-like” glands on the red-copper twigs.  Foliage turns striking yellow and/or red in the fall.  Found naturally in rocky, moist, nutrient-poor sites as well as well drained, upland steep banks and dry rocky slopes.  Extremely cold-hardy (native to the Arctic Tundra!) it is a unique choice in rock gardens as a specimen plant, or planted as a unique, low border or hedge that tolerates light pruning in the landscape.  Provides good erosion control and wildlife browse and habitat on reclamation sites.

• Drought Tolerant: no
• Evergreen: no
• Mature Height: 2-4′
• Sunshine: full sun
