Plants usually have a large singular trunk, uneven-topped branches and loosely branching flowering stems throughout the crown. Usually at lower elevations than other big sagebrush, it does overlap often with Wyoming big in range and elevation, but is much larger, with Wyoming averaging around 3 ft. Perfect for increasing plant and wildlife biodiversity, revegetation, native yards, erosion control, drought tolerance and more. This large shrub can provide a nice backdrop for flowers and ornamental grasses, a screen along a roadside fence, or dominate a section of yard to provide a wildlife sanctuary.
