Common names include Woolly Stemodia and Gary-woolly Twintip.
A delightful plant native to the coastal and southern regions of Texas and northern Mexico. Although its native habitat is sandy soils, it adapts well to other well-draining substrates.
It spreads beautifully through stolons and can create a lovely blanket of velvety gray-green leaves. Small, scattered light purple flowers with white throats bloom spring through fall. This plant is perfect for trailing over the edges of pots or retaining walls. Although evergreen in warmer climates, it will die back to the ground in hard freezes and reemerge in very early Spring. Prune dead foliage or to create a more compact form.
Larval host plant to Twintip Buckeye butterflies.

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.
