Description:
Ephedra monosperma is a small shrub native to rocky slopes and dry places from China to Siberia. It features tiny green stems and produces bright red berries, making it a visually interesting plant for dry gardens. This perennial grows in rock crevices and adapts well to garden settings, forming a nice colony in dry sites. Ephedra monosperma has been used in traditional medicine, although ephedrine products are banned in the USA due to adverse effects. Its unique growth habit and resilience make it a noteworthy addition to xeriscaped landscapes.
