- Jiaogulan - A wild mountain herb, jiaogulan thrives in mountain environments, under the canopy, where it uses trees and shrubs for structure, making dense clouds of biomass inside the forest. Jiagulan is commonly cultivated inside screen buildings, where it is easily controlled and contained.
- Goji - Originally a wild plant known as boxthorn, goji grows well in adverse environments and produces protein in the form of nutritious leaves or berries. The young shoots are a prized delicacy and packed with nutrition.
- Malabar Spinach - A climbing vine that is not only nutritious, but also delcious, tasting like a crisp butter lettuce, but without the possibility of bolting. In fact, it just keeps growing and producing the warmer it gets. The tiny baby leaves make little purple hearts in your salads.
- Wormwood - Generally not considered edible, due to toxic compounds, wormwood has many excellent qualities and can produce a crop in places where water availability is low. Check with your local agricultural office to ensure that it is considered safe in the area where you intend to cultivate it.
- Fringed Sagebrush - A low growing shrub, with a soft appearance, Fringed Sagebrush is commonly used as a ground cover and appears as a silver carpet wherever it is cultivated. Taller varieties produce tall plumes of fluffy silver foliage that sparkle in the morning dew.
The roots of wormwood deter the roots of competing plants and is considered invasive in North Dakota. The other plants on this list have already naturalized in various parts of the US without significant consequence.
