Notes
False willow (Baccharis angustifolia) is a shrub for naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and average to wet soil. It grows 72 to 156 inches tall and spreads 48 to 120 inches, so give it plenty of room. White flowers open in late summer and again in early to late autumn.
Pairs well with Mountain mint, Privet, and Mondo grass.
Native range
