Plants | Shrubs/bushes

Green Hopseed Bush, scientifically known as Dodonaea viscosa ‘Green’, is a hardy evergreen shrub valued for its lush, bright green foliage and adaptability to a variety of landscapes. This fast-growing plant has narrow, lance-shaped leaves that provide year-round greenery, making it an excellent choice for hedges, privacy screens, or windbreaks. Green Hopseed thrives in hot, dry climates and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it perfect for low-water and xeriscape gardens. Its understated beauty and minimal care requirements make it a popular choice for modern and desert-inspired landscapes.

Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Green Hopseed Bush thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For the best growth and dense foliage, plant it in a sunny location where it receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.

Watering: Low Water Requirement
Once established, Green Hopseed Bush is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water deeply every 1-2 weeks during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. In cooler months, reduce watering further as the plant can survive with less moisture.

Companion Planting:
Green Hopseed Bush pairs well with other drought-tolerant plants such as Texas Sage, Red Yucca, and Agave. For added texture and color, plant it alongside Desert Willow or Lantana. These companions thrive in similar conditions, creating a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
