Adenostoma fasciculatum 'Prostrate Chamise'

A dwarf Chamise that stays smaller than the regular variety and creeps along the ground.

In the wild it occurs with Pinus remorata,  Comarostaphylis diversifolia planifolia, Arctostaphylos insularis, Quercus parvula, Vaccinium ovatum, Quercus tomentella, and Ribes malvaceum.

Use as a small ground cover to fill in a pocket between walkways or in the little strip along the top of a retaining wall. Deer love this plant, so if you have a family of deer living in your yard this is not a good plant. If the deer wander through occasionally they'll keep it pruned for you.

Prostrate chamise will take full sun near the coast or in the mountains but in the hot interior it likes part shade or afternoon shade.
