Cliff fendlerbush is a rugged, drought-adapted native shrub that produces showy white four-petaled flowers in late spring against rocky, dry slopes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with excellent drainage and very little supplemental water once established. This low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for xeriscape and rock garden settings in the Southwest.
