Giant Bursage

Ambrosia ambrosioides

Giant Bursage (Ambrosia dumosa) is a perennial shrub native to Southwestern US states (such as California, Nevada, and Arizona) that can thrive in USDA Zones 8–11. Reaching a mature height of 1–2 feet with a compact, rounded grayish-stemmed growth habit, it features deeply lobed, silvery-white aromatic woolly leaves and produces greenish flower spikes followed by spiny burrs. It thrives in dry, sandy or gravelly desert plains and alluvial fans in full sun and is ideal for desert soil stabilization, arid watershed restoration, and desert ecosystem cover.
