How to Grow and Care for Atraphaxis spinosa

Atraphaxis spinosa

Atraphaxis spinosa is a hardy, deciduous shrub adorned with sharp spines, making it a fierce presence in arid landscapes. Its leaves are small and scale-like, an adaptation to its dry environment. During spring, atraphaxis spinosa showcases small, pink to white flowers that provide a stark contrast to its tough, spiky demeanor. Typically found in rocky, nutrient-poor soils, its deep root system allows it to thrive where other plants might falter.
