Stansbury cliffrose
Purshia stansburiana
Stansbury cliffrose is a tough, drought-adapted shrub native to arid and semi-arid regions of the American Southwest. Plant it in well-draining, sandy or rocky soil in a sunny to partly shaded spot and water sparingly once established. It rewards minimal care with fragrant cream-yellow flowers in spring that attract pollinators.
