  • Description

  • Notes

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.
Hardy to 5 degrees F
