A perennial, evergreen shrub, Creosote-Bush grows 3 to 10 feet tall with numerous flexible stems arising from the base at an angle. Also known as Greasewood and Hediondilla, it produces small, dark to yellow-green leaves that are aromatic and often sticky with resin. The flowers rarely bloom except under favorable conditions, namely partial shade and dry, well-drained, and loose sand or loam soils.
