Yerba Buena, satureja douglasii (syn. clinopodium douglasii) is a creeping flat perennial that can spread to 3' but is easily held to 1'. Yerba Buena is found in woods near the coast and coast ranges from Los Angeles to British Columbia where it does well in shade. I've seen it growing on all soil types. Yerba Buena usually grows in shade as an understory plant, usually associated with trees like oaks (Quercus), bays (Umbellularia californica) and Madrones (Arbutus menziesii). Some companion plants are Fragaria californica, Rubus ursinus, and Ribes sanguineum var. glutinosum.
Yerba Buena's leaves are used for a refreshing tea. A good ground cover without
being aggressive, easy to keep small. The stems grow across the ground
not with rhizomes.
Delicate little groundcover that can tolerate shade and deer do not bother it.
Satureja douglasii tolerates sand and clay.
Satureja douglasii's foliage color is green, type is evergreen, has fragrance and is edible.
Satureja douglasii's flower color is white and has a fragrance.
Communities for Satureja douglasii:Chaparral, Closed-cone Pine Forest, Mixed-evergreen Forest, Northern Coastal Sage Scrub and Redwood Forest.
