There are more than 60 species of Porterweed (Stachytarpheta), low-growing annual herbs that attract butterflies. Because of its prominent blue flowers, the Stachytarpheta cayennensis is our favorite variety. The flowers typically wilt after a day. Fertilize twice a year to encourage continual blooming and cut back occasionally to prompt new growth.

• Average mature height: 3 to 6 feet
• Light: Full to part sun
• Soil: Any. Keep moist during droughts.
• Zones: 9-11

Plant Size
A baby plant, that is 3-8 inches tall, will arrive at your home in a 3-inch-deep pot. Then, raise your new baby to maturity under your caring, green thumb.

Questions or Problems?

A few leaves may die during shipping. No fear! It's still healthy and will grow new leaves. Trim old growth and repot into a larger pot to encourage new growth.
