Latin name - Phyla nodiflora Frogfruit is a lovely, native ground cover that is tolerant of both drought and damp conditions. It is a good nectar source for bees and many small but terflies such as hairstreaks, and is the larval host for the White peacock, Phaon crescent, and Common buckeye butterflies. It occurs naturally in hammocks, beaches, and lawns and along roadsides. This evergreen perennial is low-growing and creeping, often forming a dense mat of green foliage. Its distinct white and purple flowers are small but very showy, particularly when planted in mass. Plant in full sun to partial shade and you will have an abundance of purple/white/pink matchstick like flowers soon enough. Show more
