Baccharis halimifolia, commonly known as Groundsel Bush, is a hardy native North American shrub. This plant provides white blooms in the fall and winter and can tolerate a wide range of conditions including heat, drought, and poor soil. Although its hardiness and fast-growth can make it weedy, Groundsel attracts pollinators and can be used in areas such as rain gardens, near water, and along roadsides.
