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.
