Stansbury's Cliffrose
Stansbury's cliffrose is an amazingly drought-tolerant native shrub. It has an irregular branching pattern with small, sparse, gray-green foliage.
The five-petaled, light yellow flowers are very attractive, blooming over much of the branches. They mature into white, fuzzy plumes.
This shrub is a very good choice for a naturalistic landscape. It can tolerate neglect and drought once established.
