Dermatophyllum secundiflorum (Texas Mountain Laurel)
$ 58.00
Synonym: Sophora secundiflora.
Texas Mountain Laurel is one of the most beloved and requested Texas native shrubs. And for good reason. It thrives in the challenging conditions that Texas throws at it. Its rich grape Kool-Aid fragrance is intoxicating and unique. But there's more. It's drought tolerant and deer resistant, and with age, it has an interesting multi-trunk growth habit. It provides seeds in its pods for a child-resistant ornamental effect, though they are poisonous.
