Wholeleaf pepperwort is a tough, low-maintenance native perennial adapted to the arid intermountain West, thriving in dry, rocky, or sandy soils with minimal care. Once established, it requires very little supplemental watering and is well suited to xeriscaping or native plant restoration projects. Plant in full sun to partial shade and avoid rich or waterlogged soils, which it strongly dislikes.
