MBN 1Gal Baccharis pilularis 'Twin Peaks #2' 00208

A dense evergreen groundcover to 2’ tall, 10-12’ wide. This is a male form of a coastal selection and features relatively long, dark green leaves, toothed at the tips. Since it is male it won't form seed pods that release variable (including upright) seedlings. Flowers are cottony and occur in fall, usually maturing around Thanksgiving. Male flowers are scentless, but females (variety 'Pigeon Point,' or those growing in the wild) smell like sweet hay, or green tea with honey. Neither sex is showy, but male flowers are quite noticeable when massed due to their cottony appearance..Sun to part shade, little or no summer watering when established, except in hotter inland climates. Probably not frost hardy beyond 15°F. Can take very wet winter soils but needs to be drier in summer. California.
