Baccharis pilularis (Coyote Bush)
|
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Coyote Bush is a tough evergreen shrub with thick shiny triangular leaves. Its native territory is primarily the California and Oregon coast, USDA zones 8-9. Little can deter this plant from growing, not heat, wind or lack of water; it is even fire and deer resistant. This 1-2 foot tall plant will make a great ground or bank cover, or when grown singly will develop into a small rounded shrub. The flowers are yellow and the female plants will produce fuzzy seed heads. Early Native Americans used parts of this plant to make a tea which relieved poison oak rash.
