Burrobrush
Hymenoclea salsola

Burrobrush will make a good addition to a native garden, massed as an informal hedge or a midground shrub. It would also serve well as a foundation planting because of its dense structure. With landscape irrigation this twiggy shrub's stems will remain green year round. NOTE: May be allergenic: This species easily Hybridizes with the common Ragweed species Ambrosia dumosa
