There is only one caffeine-producing plant that is native to North America — Yaupon Holly. Related to South America's Yerba Maté, Yaupon's leaves contain .09% caffeine. The plant was traditionally brewed by indigenous people in Texas, but grows wild in mostly coastal areas as far west as Texas, as far east as Florida and as far north as Virginia.

You might grow the Yaupon Holly just for its caffeinated leaves, but this dense, shrubby bush could also make a great landscape plant.

Great looking plant, still happy after a week or so

While I can't the same for all the plants I've received, this one is a real star! They all receive the same treatment, more or less, but this plant never complained about anything, and is happy as can be (I've had a couple cry-babies and one in particular that was not long for this world). I'd highly recommend this one!

WOW - exceeded my expectations - packaging...

WOW - exceeded my expectations - packaging (shipping box, plant bag, tags), plant care information on separate info sheet and on plant bag), quality of plants (lush green leaves and moist soil- you will never think it traveled across the continent) - absolutely amazing - next level of thoughtful and thorough - perfect as a gift to any one who may be just starting out. I will definitely look for more plants from this company.
