About Coyotebrush
Coyotebrush is a California native that deserves a spot in your garden. This cheerful shrub puts on a show of tiny yellow flowers that butterflies and other pollinators absolutely love. Birds visit too, making your garden feel alive and busy. It's a real beauty in fall and winter when many other plants have faded away, and it asks very little of you in return.
This tough little native is naturally at home in our dry climate and poor soils. Plant it in a sunny spot and let it settle in. Once established, it needs almost no water, fertilizer, or fussing. It's genuinely one of the easiest natives you can grow. Your garden will thank you, and so will the wildlife visiting throughout the year.
