Chamaebatiaria millefolium is a woody shrub native to the arid western United States. It features aromatic, lacy, fern-like foliage and abundant clusters of creamy-white flowers that bloom from mid-summer through fall. Produces small seed pods that ripen to bronze in the fall and winter. It has smooth, cinnamon to reddish-brown bark, particularly visible in winter. Excellent for hedges, screens, foundation plantings, and xeric/rock garden borders. Thrives in intermountain and desert conditions. It requires full sun to partial shade; best flowering occurs in full sun. It has low water needs; drought-resistant once established. Requires almost no supplemental irrigation to establish. Thrives in poor, rocky, sandy, well-drained soils, but will not tolerate clay. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Excellent insect and disease-resistance. Moderate fire-resistance. Cold hardy to -30°F.
