Big or Great Basin Sagebrush is an aromatic, many-branched shrub with evergreen, silvery gray foliage. Though it is the dominant shrub across the Great Basin region, this plant is unfortunately endangered by cheatgrass and wildfire in its native range. It can grow up to 10 feet tall in full sun and dry, rocky soils.
