Moisture Needs: average/medium
Origin: the species of L. sempervirens is native to the eastern and southeastern USA, where it grows along roads, in thickets, and rocky open woodlands (see the USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: minimal attraction
Attracts Hummingbirds: yes
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: Plant needs support, otherwise they will crawl along the ground (can be used as groundcover). Best planted near fence posts, trellises, etc.
