Hairy-pod pepperwort is a low-maintenance native wildflower best suited to outdoor gardens in arid and semi-arid regions of the American Southwest. It thrives in partial shade with moderate watering and tolerates poor, dry soils well. This plant is best left to naturalize rather than being cultivated as a container or indoor specimen.
