A hardy native shrub of the desert Southwest and Great Plains, Fourwing Saltbush thrives in sandy soils and harsh climates. Recognized by its silvery-gray leaves and distinctive four-winged fruits, this resilient plant plays an important ecological role in arid landscapes. Remarkably, Fourwing Saltbush can change its sex in response to environmental conditions—an uncommon trait among plants.
For generations, Native American tribes valued Fourwing Saltbush for its many uses. Its stems provided reliable fuel, its leaves were boiled with alum to create yellow dye, and its mildly salty seeds were parched and ground into flour by the Navajo.
