Atriplex - Orache

Popular among floral designers, Atriplex, also known as Orache or Orach, is famed as a delightful, shimmery filler for bouquet and arrangement work. Atriplex grows 12" to 24" inches tall and produces long stems decorated with tiny disk type pods that shimmer when they capture the light and create an elegant texture to any garden space. The foliage of this plant is edible and historically Native Americans blended the crushed seed pods into water as a refreshing drink.
