Porterweed

Porterweed, known botanically as Stachytarpheta (stick-EYE-tär-fet-uh), is a fast-growing (grows like a weed), perennial bush adored for its slender, whimsically twisty stems atop which grow its lively, trumpet-shaped flowers that bloom almost continuously throughout the season, especially in warmer climes. Available in both bold and pastel hues of blue, purple, pink, and red, Porterweed adds a welcome splash of color to gardens, borders, and containers; it is a standout choice for attracting pollinators such as butterflies and hummingbirds. This wildly fascinating perennial plant thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Paired with its drought tolerance, this shrub is an excellent choice for low-maintenance landscapes. Porterweed’s sprawling, bushy habit also makes it the ultimate selection for creating informal hedges or for filling in barren landscape spaces with its airy, colorful presence. Though it can grow in full sun, partial shade seems to be its sweet spot, producing truer blue and deeper red colors.
