Houstonia purpurea

mountain bluets

 

This delicate perennial loves full sun to part shade and well-drained, sandy or loamy soils. Houstonia purpurea produces small, violet-blue flowers that are perfect for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It provides both nectar and pollen, making it a vital addition to a pollinator-friendly garden. With its low-growing, spreading habit, it’s ideal for ground cover and provides a cheerful splash of color in woodland gardens.

 

Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).

All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
