Description
Baccharis pilularis ‘Twin Peaks’ is a reliable California native groundcover ideal for large sunny slopes, erosion control, or low-water landscapes. Its dense green foliage creates a uniform, evergreen carpet that stabilizes soil and supports beneficial insects and birds. Once established, it’s highly drought-tolerant and wind-resistant, making it well-suited to Bay Area coastal and inland conditions alike. This selection stays low and tidy with occasional trimming, offering a natural, unpretentious look in native or contemporary plantings. It thrives in poor, well-drained soils where many other plants struggle.
