Growth Rate
The slow growth rate observed in coastal doghobble manifests most distinctly during spring. Characterized by a gradual expansion of foliage, coastal doghobble delicately increases in height and girth. This unhurried growth promotes dense, lush vegetation, enhancing the plant's resistance to environmental stressors. Additionally, despite a slower pace, this allows the plant to invest more resources into leaf production, ensuing a robust formation ready for photosynthesis. While growth patterns may vary across seasons, the languid growth during spring is indicative of coastal doghobble's survival strategy, aligning growth with favorable environmental conditions to ensure vitality.
