Baccharis halimifolia, commonly known as Groundsel Bush, is a native deciduous shrub found along coastal and inland areas of the eastern and southeastern United States. This adaptable, upright shrub typically grows 6 to 10 feet tall and wide and is well known for its tolerance of salt spray, wind, heat, and poor soils. In late summer to fall, Groundsel Bush produces airy clusters of small, creamy white flowers that give the plant a soft, cloud-like appearance. These blooms are followed on female plants by fluffy seed heads. It thrives in full sun to part shade and performs especially well in coastal landscapes, wet sites, and naturalized plantings.
