Lycium andersonii | Anderson's Desert Thorn | 100 Seeds

Lycium andersonii, commonly known as Anderson's Desert Thorn or Water Jacket, is a resilient and drought-tolerant shrub native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This hardy plant typically grows to a height of 3 to 6 feet (0.9 to 1.8 meters) and is characterized by its slender, arching branches adorned with small, elliptical leaves. Lycium andersonii produces delicate, tubular flowers that can range in color from pale lavender to light purple, attracting a variety of pollinators such as bees and butterflies. One of its remarkable features is its small, round, and translucent berries that are initially green but ripen to a bright red or orange, serving as a valuable food source for wildlife and humans alike. Anderson's Desert Thorn is well-adapted to thrive in arid, sandy, and rocky soils, making it an important component of desert ecosystems and a valuable landscaping choice for xeriscapes due to its low water requirements.  Zones 9-11 Germinatio
