Description

A deciduous shrub that grows to 3-6 ft.. It has rose flowers in spring. Native to east slope Sierra Nevada up into Nevada. It likes sun, dry conditions, and good drainage. It has a beautiful flower show. I've seen many photos of this taken by people who had no idea what it was. A decent wildlife plant. Water it for the first summer and then ignore. If you live in the lower desert you'll probably need to give it a little more water. (But not much!) We saw it around Mono Lake growing in full sun growing with Grayia spinosa, Artemisia tridentata, and Elymus cinereus.
