We are excited to offer Oxytropis campestris, a striking alpine perennial from open meadows and rocky slopes across North America and Eurasia. This hardy legume forms dense, low-growing rosettes of silvery-gray, finely divided foliage, providing year-round texture and color in the rock garden. In late spring to early summer, it produces upright spikes of creamy yellow flowers with the variability of producing deep purple as well, standing elegantly above the foliage. The locoweeds of Western USA are many and offer a great choice for xeriscaping and dryland gardening.
O. campestris thrives in sharply drained, lean soils and full sun, perfectly suited to rock gardens, alpine troughs, and crevice plantings. Hardy to USDA Zone 3, it withstands cold winters, wind, and dry conditions once established, reflecting its adaptation to high plains and mountain habitats.
This alpine gem is ideal for gardeners seeking resilient, low-maintenance plants with long-lasting floral impact. Its compact habit and striking flowers make it a standout in alpine collections, crevices, or elevated rockwork, offering a true taste of wild, high-country beauty.
