Tiny, grey-green leaves dot the length of prostrate branches. In spring, clusters of tiny, white flowers grace the branch tips, then age to an attractive coppery tan by fall. Branch, leaf, and flower are all a bit fuzzy. This deciduous, low-growing shrub is native to high elevations in Oregon, California, Arizona, and Colorado. Find it nestled among rocks near Bristlecone, Jeffrey, and Lodgepole Pines. It's one tough cookie; adaptable to garden conditions as long as you don't overdo it with summer water.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
