Hastate orache (Atriplex prostrata) is one of several weeds that are competing with the most significant remaining population of the endangered Spalding blown grass (Lachnagrostis limitanea).
The Wild Orache (Atriplex patula) is a common native weed on clays and heavy ground. It has spreading stems, 2 to 3 feet long, sometimes prostrate, only occasionally erect (hence often called the Spreading Orache).
Salt Bush, Orach
AH-tri-plex
A genus of some 100 species of shrubs, subshrubs, or annuals which are usually gray or white. Leaves alternate or opposite, flat, toothed or lobed, sometimes entire. Flowers small, usually unisexual, in terminal clusters.
Orach is easy to grow in poor, sandy soils. It is very tolerant of salty and alkaline soils.
Light: Orach does best and produces the best color when grown in full sun.
