Low forms of coyote brush selected near the California coast have long been popular for ground cover. 'Pigeon Point' is a dense, low mound, with toothed, very bright green leaves. The creamy flower heads are small but have a pleasant fragrance suggesting a mixture of hay and honey. Sun (though they tolerate light shade), nearly all soils, occasional watering when established.
