Beach Salt Bush

Beach Salt Bush This is a short, sprawling perennial reaching a maximum height near 1 foot tall.

It is native to the coastline of California and Baja California, and the Channel Islands, where it is a resident of beach dunes and other sandy areas.

It will grow happily in all garden type soils. Plant in an area with drainage because I does not do well with saturated soil.

It features vivid greenish yellow blooms mid summer to mid fall.

Great use for a mixed border.
