Description

Pigeon Point is a compact evergreen groundcover that grows 18-24" tall and 10 to 12 feet 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 by gallons that are at least 6 -10 ft. 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:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
