The pilularis is a low maintenance, reliable evergreen groundcover . It benefits from pruning in the spring. However, the cottony seeds from the female plant can be messy. It can be found below 2000 ft. in the Coastal Scrub, Chaparral, and Foothill Woodland communities. -Cornflower Farms

Dig hole, insert plant slightly higher than soil grade. Disturb root ball very little. No amendments, just native soil. No fertilizers. Backfill the hole .Water lavishly. Mulch top of soil around plant in a 4' diameter circle. - Bert Wilson Las Pilitas
