For over 60 years, the Aberdeen Plant Materials Center has provided plant solutions applicable to the diverse landscapes of the Intermountain West. The Center has released well over 40 improved conservation plants including varieties of fourwing saltbush, bottlebrush squirreltail, Baltic rush, Lewis flax, penstemon and basin wildrye.
