Hymenolepis parviflora, commonly known as Coulter Bush, is an evergreen shrub native to the Western Cape and Southwest regions of South Africa, where it thrives in fynbos and renosterveld habitats. These are areas characterized by Mediterranean-type ecosystems with winter rainfall and dry summers. The plant typically grows to a height of 3-4 feet (0.9-1.2 meters) and a width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). It has a compact, rounded form and produces small, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers in the summer, which are moderately showy and attract pollinators.

Coulter Bush is valued for its drought tolerance and year-round foliage, making it a suitable choice for water-wise gardens, rockeries, and coastal landscapes. It is also used as a low hedge or for mass planting in sunny borders. The plant prefers full sun exposure and can tolerate a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. While it can survive with low water once established, moderate watering will keep it looking its best. It is not known for significant pest or disease problems, but it can be sensitive to overwatering, which may lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
