Add Your Opinion About This Plant
Both the leaves and flowers of this rounded, bushy, medium-sized, evergreen shrub are fragrant and attractive. It is a host plant for the Giant Swallowtail Butterfly (Papilio cresphontes) and possibly other Swallowtails as well. In zone 11, my first plant grew very well in a container in partial shade and hosted 4 generations of caterpillars before it dropped dead, not because of the caterpillars but i believe due to insufficient drainage. I have a new cutting growing slowly but well now in a soil mix designed to increase drainage and am hopeful it will make it through our heavy rainy season and flourish. The plant is not salt tolerant. It is native to Mexico.
