Desert Trumpet

Overview

Desert Trumpet (Eriogonum inflatum) is a resilient perennial, thriving in arid conditions (zones 5-12). Characterized by swollen stems and small, yellowish flowers, it reaches 1-2 feet in height and width. This bushy, native plant tolerates poor soils and drought, requiring minimal maintenance. Its unique structure adds textural contrast, making it an intriguing choice for xeriscapes and rock gardens, and it contributes to local ecology by supporting native pollinators.
