The use of native groundcovers that will help reduce water use and provide food source's for native wildlife is a topic that is on customer's minds these days. With our current drought showing no signs of letting up and with the prices of water  going up, it is wise to consider using native groundcover plants to help reduce water use and increase the curb appeal of your home or business. I have listed with the aid of reference notes from Las Pilitas Nursery ( www.laspilitas.com ) a number of California native groundcovers that are available for Inland and coastal use.

Inland Choices Full & Part Sun Exposure :               Coastal Choices Full & Part Sun Exposure:
Artemisia 'Montara'                                                          Arctostaphylos ' Carmel Sur '                                                 
Baccharis pilularis 'Green  Surf '                                    Arctostaphylos ' Emerald Carpet '
Baccharis pilularis ' Pigeon Point '                                Baccharis pilularis ' Green Surf '
Ceanothus ' Joyce Coulter '                                             Baccharis pilularis ' Pigeon Point '
Ceanothus ' Yankee Point '                                             Ceanothus ' Yankee Point '
Salvia mellifera repens                                                      Lonicera hispidula
                                                                                                  Salvia ' Dara's Choice '
                                                                                                  Satureja douglasii

Inland Shade Exposure:                                                    Coastal Shade Exposure:

Mahonia repens                                                                 Mahonia repens
Ribes viburnifolium                                                           Ribes viburnifolium 
Satureja douglasii                                                               Satureja douglasii
Vitis girdiana                                                                        Vitis girdiana
