Growing on the edge of the saltmarsh Aptly named, High Tide Bush grows at the edge of brackish marshes. Jack Spruill has found it to be even more salt-tolerant than Baccharis halimifolia. Jack Spruill, Hampstead, Aug 25, 2009
In bloom The flowers are inconspicuous, hidden by the leafy bracts. Jack Spruill, Hampstead, Aug 25, 2009 Jack Spruill - I have tried to expand some plantings by using green sticks pushed into the same type habitat, but had no luck. Since it produces so many seeds, maybe that is its main means for expanding its range.
