2024 Southeastern Plant Symposium Auction
529 - Myrcianthes fragrans (Cape Canaveral, FL)
Plant Shrub
Closed
Current Bid: $70
(Pot Sz: 3 qt)
Common name: Simpson Stopper
¤ evergreen shrub to 10'
¤ plant in sun
¤ hardy to zone 8a, at least
¤ white flowers in late spring
¤ attracts pollinators, attracts butterflies, attracts birds, deer resistant
This really neat Myrtle family member is one of the hardier in the family, this one being a cutting grown selection of plants from Cape Canaveral, Florida, which have thrived in Aiken SC for decades. This is a slightly smaller leaf form and a lighter fruited one than the material from Tamaulipas Mexico, but like that form, it has the most amazing peeling bark with age. This has sailed through the teens for us so far!
