It typically grows between 10 to 15 feet in height, although it can occasionally reach up to 25 feet. The plant is distinguished by its lance-shaped, dark green leaves that are often serrated along the edges. In late summer to fall, it produces small, fluffy, white to cream-colored flowers arranged in dense clusters, which are particularly attractive to pollinators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoastal and salt-spray-exposed plantings - one of the few native shrubs suited to direct oceanfront sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt marsh edge and dune-adjacent restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLate-season pollinator habitat plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil stabilization on exposed, sandy, or disturbed coastal sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWildlife habitat - dense branching provides nesting cover for birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Conditions \/ Specification Data\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\/Moisture Tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highly adaptable, including high-salinity soils; suitable for coastal and wetland environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rapid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-15 ft.
