Discover the amazing Atriplex canescens, also known as Four Wing Saltbush, Chamiza, or Chamiso! This evergreen shrub, native to the western United States, stands out with its fruit, which has four wings at roughly 90 degree angles. Its highly variable form varies in height from 1 to 10 feet, with leaves 0.5 to 2 inches long, and blooms from April to October. Good for saline soils, this shrub is most common in early succession areas, such as disturbed sites and active sand dunes, and is also found in more mature successions. The Hopi Indians preferred the ashes of the burnt green herb for their blue corn products, and the ground up seed can be drunk as a refreshing beverage. Enhance your garden with Atriplex canescens!
