Botanical Name
Stachytarpheta cayennensis
Common Name
Blue Porterweed
Family
Verbenaceae
It has been our experience that Stachytarpheta cayennensis performs well in our area in a warm season planting. Despite its small and often not numerous flowers, it still attracts pollinators. We have observed it to be fairly drought tolerant and to be low maintenance. It is about two to three feet tall and about two to three feet wide.
