Belgian Saltbush

Atriplex laciniata

Belgian Saltbush, or Atriplex laciniata, is an attractive, salt-tolerant plant that will grow in sunny or partially sunny areas. It is native to northern and western Europe and has twice-divided, olive-green leaves and roundish, yellow-green flowers. Belgian Saltbush grows up to two feet in height and its fresh green foliage provides a delightful contrast against its reddish stems. It is drought-tolerant and is a great choice for gardens with poor, sandy soils. It is a beneficial food source for wildlife and can bring birds and butterflies to a garden. The plant is easily propagated by seed and grows quickly, providing year-round interest. Belgian Saltbush is a gorgeous addition to any landscape or garden.
