Sphaeralcea ambigua

Sphaeralcea ambigua is a resilient perennial shrub reaching up to three feet in height and width. It features distinctive fuzzy, grey-green lobed foliage and produces a profusion of bowl-shaped, apricot-orange flowers. Ideal for drought-tolerant landscapes, pollinator gardens, and erosion control on slopes, it thrives in full sun and well-draining alkaline soils. This hardy desert native is exceptionally xeriphytic, requiring minimal water once established while attracting bees and butterflies.
