| Botanical Name | Stachytarpheta mutabilis 'Peach' |
| Description | 'Peach' Porterweed is a standout in the Houston summer landscape, known for its ability to bloom tirelessly in high heat and humidity. It adapts well to various local soil conditions, though it performs best in loose, fertile soil with moderate drainage. While it can handle some of the area's heavier textures, avoid sites where water pools for long periods. Its upright, clumping habit and soft peach flowers make it a favorite for tropical-themed or pollinator-focused gardens. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Height x Width | 3-4' H x 3-4' W |
| Water | Medium; prefers consistent moisture but is relatively drought-tolerant once established. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Typically returns from roots in the Houston area) |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Lightly prune in mid-summer to maintain shape; cut back to 6 inches after the first frost. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
