Pigeon Point Coyote Bush

Common name: Pigeon Point Coyote Bush
Botanical name: Baccharis pilularis 'Pigeon Point'

'Pigeon Point' Coyote Bush is a compact, evergreen ground cover that grows 1-2 ft. tall and 8-10 ft. wide. Its leaves are green; it has white flowers that bloom in the fall but they are not overly dramatic. It is important to plant this ground cover at least 6'-8' apart. Otherwise they will overgrow each other and begin to pile upwards. 'Pigeon Point' is tolerant of ocean spray and is deer resistant.
