Significant pyramids of cream-colored blooms gracefully droop over Oceanspray's summer foliage. When the lovely Autumn show of red leaves is over, elegant brown seed heads echo the shape of the summer blooms, lasting through the winter.Widespread in dry, forested areas of the west, Oceanspray has a pleasing texture of deeply toothed, nearly triangular leaves up to 1 1/2 inches long. Wood was used by aboriginals for making arrow shafts, digging sticks and harpoons.
