Also known as Chamiso and Wing-scale, this many-branched, semi-evergreen shrub typically grows up to 2 to 3 feet tall but can reach up to 8 feet in partial shade and dry, well-drained soils. The young stems and leaves are covered with minute, white scales that helps protect the plant against water loss. The name "Saltbush" refers to the alkaline soil habitats in which the plant grows.
