Purshia tridentata can be found in various regions ranging from southeastern British Columbia in the north, east to Montana and Wyoming, and as far south as New Mexico. It also grows on arid mountainsides and slopes, making it well-suited for harsh environments. In California, it can be found at elevations between 2,200 and 11,100 feet above sea level, including in the Peninsular Ranges, Transverse Ranges, Sierra Nevada, and southern Cascade Range.

This deciduous shrub typically reaches a height of 3-15 ft, adding vertical interest to your garden or natural area. Its slender leaves measure between 5 and 20 mm in length, giving it an elegant appearance. What makes Purshia tridentata even more fascinating is its ability to fix nitrogen in the soil, providing a valuable ecological service.
The flowers of Purshia tridentata are a pale yellow color, with five delicate petals that measure 6 to 8 mm in length. The darker yellow anthers add depth and contrast to the blossoms. In the fruiting stage, this shrub produces clusters of dry, slender, and leathery achenes measuring 0.6 to 2 cm long.
