Short lived nice yellow flowers. This plant is constantly visited by sulphur butterflies. It Grows well nearby the beach in sandy alkaline soils, and is fairly drought tolerant. The seeds grow easily if sown from the dried pod formed post flower. The foliage clinches together at times, which is interesting.

We have had this plant for several years. It has spread somewhat, but is not a problem. Here it blooms mid spring until winter. It is a lush and pleasant plant. In our sheltered area it is about 15 feet high, and has wound around a tree for support without choking the tree.

This Florida native plant is short lived and short in stature but fast growing and tolerates frost and mild freezes well. Blooming from late Summer until late Spring, it’s a nice addition to a butterfly garden. It is a larval food and nectar plant for sulphur butterflies. The numerous seeds sprout readily. This is also a good choice for a fast growing temporary screen.
