Emory's baccharis is a tough, fast-growing native shrub that thrives along streambanks and riparian corridors in the American Southwest with minimal care. Plant in a spot with partial shade and consistent moisture, such as near a water feature or low-lying garden bed. Once established it requires little intervention and rewards you with fluffy white seed heads that attract pollinators and birds.
