Old Man Saltbush, Atriplex nummularia, is a dense, sprawling shrub with large attractive silver foliage. It is the largest species of Australian saltbush growing up to 2 metres high and 3 metres wide, perfect for screening and habitat. It has a extensive deep root system which stabilises sandy soils, but can tolerate many soil types.
It naturally occurs in arid areas in all states of Australia (except Tasmania), so is very hardy and tolerant of most conditions once established.
It can be pruned to keep in shape, must have free draining soils and is part-shade tolerant.
