Slenderbush eriogonum
Eriogonum microthecum
Slenderbush eriogonum is a tough, drought-adapted native shrub well suited to xeric gardens, rocky slopes, and dry borders in the western United States. Once established it requires very little supplemental water and thrives in poor, well-drained soils with full sun to light shade. Its tiny clustered flowers are excellent pollinator attractors and provide interest from summer through fall.
