| Botanical Name | Aloysia virgata |
| Description | A powerhouse for Southeast Texas pollinator gardens. This large shrub or small tree is exceptionally heat-tolerant and thrives in Houston's humidity. It is adaptable to most soil types but requires a well-drained location; it will not tolerate sitting in water. Amending heavy clay with organic matter is recommended for the best growth rate. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Required for best bloom and fragrance) |
| Height x Width | 10-15 ft. x 8-12 ft. |
| Water | Average; drought-tolerant once established but benefits from regular deep watering during summer. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Reliable perennial in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Can be pruned aggressively to maintain shape; deadheading spent blooms encourages faster re-blooming. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
