Fall is the season for Groundsel Bush, when feathery, white seeded fruits cover the female bushes. A male plant is needed for this spectacular display. The fruit becomes cottony as it blows about in the wind.
The dense foliage and branching of Groundsel Bush provides great cover for birds and small mammals.
Groundsel Bush is easy to grow and tolerates wet, sandy, loamy, rocky and dry soils as well as brackish water and salt spray.
