Dalea Emoryi, Dyebush, White Dalea, or Emory's Indigo Bush, is a small shrub in the pea family native to the Coachella Valley. Dyebush grows to 3-4 feet tall making it an excellent foundational planting in a native garden or wildlife habitat. The leaves are hairy and grayish white, a color helping reflect sunlight. It is covered in fluffy balls of purple flowers from March to June, and persists until the hottest and driest weather prevails near early or midsummer. As a true native to the desert, irrigation is not required but growth and flowering will be enhanced by supplemental water. The plant is fragrant and oily and has been used for dyes and stains.
