Well Dave and Danita, let me tell you a story.
Molly the director of the Wildscape where I volunteer got this plant a few years ago.
I called her this morning and she said she forgot where she got it, she is 85 so it is understandable.
I tried calling nurseries this morning where she might have gotten it, but we are under a big blanket of ice and everything is closed. I will try again when things melt and power has been restored, many places are out at this time, we are some of the lucky ones.
In the meantime I will say that this plant doesn't make seed, since it is a hybrid, so propagation is by cuttings.
Cuttings are difficult to root, but I have been able to get them to root a few times.
I could send cuttings in the spring, the plant although evergreen is not at it's best right now, cold and covered with ice.
The plant in the pictures is at Fielder House Butterfly garden, which I started seven years ago, and has done very well, the soil there is sandy, and it is in mostly sun.
The ones I planted at my house have not made it, which makes me very sad, I have heavy clay and part shade.
To make a long story short, I will check for nurseries and I can send cuttings in spring when new growth starts.
Thank you Dave for adding it to the database and for rearranging the pictures in the article, it sure looks a lot better.
Thank you Everyone for your interest in Texas native plants, they are my passion.
This is my converted front yard before the ice storm.
