Coyote Bush

Pigeon Point Coyote Bush

A supremely tough and versatile West Coast native, Coyote Bush. This plant can handle salt spray, drought and neglect like a champ, and deer won’t eat it! Grows only a foot or so tall by 10 feet wide if you let it! Excellent for slope stabilization and erosion control. Many predatory wasps, native butterflies, flies and bees flock to this plant when they are in bloom, and the blooms begin quite early! Add to the pollinator garden for a low maintenance and evergreen choice!
