Specimen - Sage Brush
$0.00
Sagebrush is a defining plant of the Columbia Plateau's shrub-steppe habitat, where it thrives in the airy, well-drained soils left behind by catastrophic Ice Age floods. Those floods stripped away topsoil within weeks, carving a dramatic landscape of steppes, dry waterfalls, and rolling plains that now characterize the region. The plant's distinctive fragrance and resilience make it an emblem of this rugged, wind-swept terrain.
