Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) is an extremely attractive, densely branched, aromatic shrub. It gets its name from its foliage, which look like tiny ferns. It grows in a formal mound with minimal pruning and is covered in showy cream-white flowers from midsummer to fall. These flowers give way to attractive seedheads that eventually turn bronze. In milder climates, Fernbush can keep its leaves all winter. In colder climates, it will lose its leaves and reveal its reddish, cinnamon bark for winter and leaves will return in the spring. This low mainenance shrub is an excellent addition to sunny garden beds and borders, xeric gardens, dry rock gardens, or foundation plantings. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution.
