Also known as Texas Frogfruit, Turkey Tangle, Fogfruit.
Frogfruit makes a fantastic ground cover and stays evergreen in warmer years or in areas protected from frost. It spreads assertively in both fun sun and part shade. This charming plant looks lovely as it cascades over boulders or the edges of hanging baskets, and it’s quite resilient and able to handle both drought and flooding.
An important host plant to the Phaon Crescent, White Peacock and Common Buckeye butterflies and a nectar source for many pollinators including hummingbirds. Belongs to the verbena family (Verbenaceae).
Though very drought tolerant, watering during dry seasons keeps it more vibrant. Handles foot traffic and mowing. However, it's best mow while the plant is not in bloom.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
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.
