10 Seeds Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis Evergreen Shrub Drought Tolerant Hedge Plant

Jojoba is an evergreen, woody shrub grown for its dense, leathery blue-green foliage and its ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions where many other plants struggle. It forms a rounded, upright habit over time, making it a valuable choice for xeriscapes, hedgerows, windbreaks, and large containers.
A durable ornamental and landscaping shrub, jojoba provides year-round structure and textured gray-green interest. Its dense branching suits informal hedges, privacy screens, and dry garden borders, and it pairs well with other low-water plants.
