Description

Pigeon Point is a compact evergreen groundcover that grows 18-24" tall and 10 to 12' wide. It is the preferred form of the Coyote Bush . Its leaves are green and it has white flowers that bloom in the fall. It is important to plant this groundcover in gallon containters that are at least 6 -10' apart. Otherwise, they will overgrow each other and create a high groundcover. Pigeon Point is tolerant of ocean spray and is deer resistant.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
