(Mountain Weed) – Hardy & Striking 🌾

Looking for a tough, drought-tolerant plant that thrives where others fail? Our Salt Cedar (Tamarix spp.), sometimes referred to as Mountain Weed, is a rugged, resilient species known for its wispy pink blooms, fine-textured foliage, and ability to thrive in poor soils and intense heat.

This plant is especially admired for its ornamental qualities, wind tolerance, and use in erosion control in tough landscapes. Salt Cedar can be shaped as a shrub or allowed to grow into a small tree for dramatic effect.

🌿 Why Grow Salt Cedar?
✔️ Striking pink flower clusters attract pollinators
✔️ Grows well in arid, sandy, or salty soils
✔️ Low-maintenance once established
✔️ Suitable for xeriscaping and tough terrain
✔️ Thrives in full desert sun (ideal for Zone 9B)

🧑‍🌾 Growing Instructions (Zone 9B & Similar):
