Groundsel tree is a useful shrub for reclaiming moist or wet sites. It is an excellent addition along retention areas and drainage ponds, and it is also a nice addition to any landscape because it flowers when few other plants are flowering.
The leaves and flowers of this plant contain a cardioactive glycoside that is toxic to grazing livestock. The evergreen appearance is attractive to grazing animals when other forage is not available so care should be taken to remove it from pastures.
Bees and small butterflies use the nectar from the flowers of saltbush, which in turn attract songbirds and other wildlife which forage on the insects.
Propagation is best achieved by transplants. It can be transplanted at just about any size as long as most of the upper vegetation is trimmed off to reduce shock.
