frostweed wrote: Black Dalea, Dalea frutescens, is a lovely delicate small shrub. Drought resistant and cold hardy it makes a lovely accent plant or a ground cover. I grew it this year for the first time and I am very pleased with the results. Native to Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico, it is also a larval host for the Dogface Butterfly. http://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=DAFR2 http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=1436 A close up of the flower. |
