Description
Sweetfern is highly valued for its adaptability and role in ecological restoration. It thrives in dry, nutrient-poor soils, making it an excellent choice for stabilizing sandy slopes and disturbed sites. As a nitrogen-fixing species, it improves soil quality, benefiting surrounding plants. Comptonia peregrina is also drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it a popular choice for naturalized landscapes and pollinator gardens. Its dense growth habit provides cover for small wildlife, and its aromatic leaves have been traditionally used for medicinal and aromatic purposes.
