Bitterbrush is a shrub of the rose family. It is native to mountainous areas and sagebrush steppe of western North America. Common names include Antelope Bitterbrush, Antelope Brush, Buckbrush, Quinine Brush, and less commonly Deerbrush, Blackbrush, and Greasewood. Some of these names are shared with other species.
Propagation from seed is usually successful, although germination takes a while. The seeds are best sown in fall in a cold frame, 1/2 inch deep and four inches apart. Seedlings can be transferred to their permanent location the following spring. Stored seed requires 1-3 months of cold stratification. Bitterbrush tolerates dry soils and is very tolerant of full sun conditions.
