This small tree announces spring with fragrant purple flowers that attract pollinators and hummingbirds. The flowers smell like grape candy and look like wisteria. Plant it in well-draining soil.
Texas Mountain Laurel is a slow-growing plant so we are offering it in a 10 gallon size. Note that the seed pods are poisonous and should be kept away from children and pets.
A great alternative to crape myrtle!
