Baccharis halimifolia (Groudsel-bush)

NOVEMBER 2004

"More grows in the garden than the gardener has sown." --- Unknown
Baccharis halimifolia (Groudsel-bush) is a handsome, unusual native multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with soft gray green to rich green leaves. The habit is distinctly oval to rounded. Makes a good mass or filter plant in difficult soil areas. Common along the coast of Georgia (quite salt tolerant) where in late summer and fall the white fruits appear as a froth over the top of the plants. ... Michael A.

Calicarpa americana : American beautyberry
Calicarpa americana [American beautyberry) is a rather coarse, 3-8' high, loose, open shrub that is found throughout the southeast. . . . The lavender-pink flowers are borne in axillary cymes on new growth from June into August. The 1/4" diameter, violet to magenta magenta fruits are produced in profusion. The nodes of the fruit are literally encircled by the fruit clusters. . . . Makes a good shrub for naturalizing or massing. ... Michael A. Dirr, Manual of Woody Landscape Plants (1990)

 		"Self-sown my stately garden grows;
The winds and wind-blown seed,
Cold April rain and colder snows
My hedges plant and feed."
