Bacharis pilularis is native to the lower elevations of California, primarily in Coastal areas below 2000 feet elevation.
Coyote Brush provides food and great cover for a variety of birds including this Yellow
Rumped Warbler. There are a number of low growing varieties including Twin Peaks and Pigeon Point. The low growing forms are
often recommended for fire-scapes. Bacharis pilularis will grow on a variety of soil types including clay. After several years the older
branches start to die back. Bacharis pilularis responds well to hard pruning when this happens and usually the Coyote Brush rapidly fills
back in. Bacharis pilularis is Winter hardy into the low teens.
