Baccharis pilularis ‘Twin Peaks’ is a low-growing groundcover that is a male selection of the native Coyote Brush. Because the flowers are male, it produces pollen but lacks the messy seed heads found on female plants. Excellent choice as a low, informal hedge to stabilize slopes, as a broad native groundcover, for weed suppression, and erosion control. Low water needs once established. It prefers full sun, but can tolerate light shade. Adaptable to most soils, but is best in sandy, loam, and clay, provided there is good drainage. Deer-resistant. Fire-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to 10°F.
