| Botanical Name | Stachytarpheta jamaicensis 'Lavender' |
| Description | A must-have for Houston butterfly enthusiasts, the 'Lavender' Porterweed is renowned for its nonstop blooming cycle during the humid summer months. It is highly adaptable to various soil types, including the area's native loam and light clay. While it loves moisture to keep its foliage lush, it requires a well-drained spot to prevent root issues during heavy rainy seasons. Its sprawling habit makes it perfect for the middle or back of the border. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Height x Width | 3-4' H x 3-4' W |
| Water | Medium; requires regular watering during dry spells to maintain blooms. |
| Zones | 9 - 11 (Treated as a returning perennial or annual in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. |
| Pruning | Trim back occasionally to maintain shape and encourage fresh flower spikes. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate |
