Discovered in 1902 in Charleston, South Carolina, and hailing from the southeastern US, (southeastern South Carolina west to eastern Louisiana), roundleaf bluets live their lives in virtual anonymity. Houstonia procumbens is a southern coastal denizen, a cousin to the better-known bluets, that grows as a 1" tall groundcover in slightly moist sandy open pinelands and sunny roadside banks. Houstonia procumbens patches are adorned with small white flowers from fall through winter. We hope you can find a home for this overlooked cutie in your garden. Our offering is propagated from our 2003 collection from Clay County, Florida.
