The "Southern Belle Sundrop" is a Texas native plant and belongs to the Evening Primrose family Onagraceae. It has the delicate nature of a Southern Belle but is also very hardy and can tolerate drought. This evergreen, bushy subshrub brightens your garden, thriving in full sun or partial shade and preferring well-drained soil. The plant grows woody at the base and has herbaceous stems that reach 18 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Its papery, bright yellow flowers bloom almost year-round, making it an excellent choice for adding vibrant color to your landscape.
This plant is commonly found in the prairie grasslands of Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and New Mexico and is highly tolerant of heat and cold. It spreads by rhizomes and creates a colorful carpet when planted with other perennials with similar water requirements, such as rosemary, sage, and lavender. Your garden will be filled with vibrant yellow flowers, attracting birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
