Description
Groundsel Tree, also known as Sea Myrtle, is a semi-evergreen shrub that adds beauty and wildlife interest to Massachusetts landscapes. Blooming in fall, this medium to large shrub produces fluffy white flowers, creating a striking display from late summer to early fall. Known for its salt tolerance, it thrives in both wet and dry sites, making it a versatile addition to coastal gardens and naturalized areas.
This low-maintenance shrub features grayish-green deciduous foliage with serrated oval leaves that stay attractive throughout the growing season. Groundsel Tree has an upright spreading habit, blending seamlessly into your landscape. Keep in mind that it is self-seeding and potentially invasive, so it's important to manage its spread, especially in larger garden spaces.
