The University of Arizona: Short Take: Highlighting Native Plants – Triangle-leaf Bursage, Ambrosia deltoidea

Short Takes are 15-30 minute classes that focus on a single idea with straightforward, common-sense information that will help you increase your gardening success.

Often overlooked because of its subtle appearance, Triangle-leaf Bursage (Ambrosia deltoidea) is one of the Sonoran Desert’s most important native shrubs. Learn how this hardy plant survives extreme heat and drought, supports wildlife, stabilizes desert soils, and serves as a nurse plant for iconic cacti such as saguaros. We’ll also discuss its role in desert ecology, growing requirements, and why this unassuming shrub deserves a place in native landscapes and habitat restoration projects.
