Rubber Rabbitbrush (Ericameria nauseosa)
Rabbitbrush is an icon of the arid West, where it commonly grows as a subdominant companion with sagebrush (Artemisia spp.), juniper (Juniperus spp.), ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), and other principal species. Growing as a mound of seafoam green foliage, rubber rabbitbrush erupts into a dazzling yellow bloom that covers most of the plant during the late season, making it an especially valuable pollinator plant. A must for any dryland-inspired plantings, rubber rabbitbrush makes sure your Summer and Fall ends with a grand finale!
In the wild, rubber rabbitbrush bounces back from disturbance like fire much faster than sagebrush, making it an essential species for landscape recovery. In areas where repeated fire, weed invasion, and overgrazing have eliminated most native vegetation, rubber rabbitbrush will commonly be among the last native species hanging on.
Plants are sold in either 1 quart or 1 trade gallon pots.
