Creeping Saltbush

Overview

Creeping Saltbush (Atriplex prostrata) is a low-growing, evergreen perennial shrub native to central and eastern Australia. It has small, scale-like leaves, and produces small, white flowers. Creeping Saltbush is incredibly salt-tolerant, and can grow on very salty soils with minimum water or nutrients. It can act as an effective windbreak and soil stabilizer, helping to reduce soil erosion in coastal areas. It is also an important habitat for numerous native species of insects, birds and mammals.
