Glandularia tampensis

This gorgeous Florida native plant was once found abundantly in disturbed, sandy, live oak-palmetto and pine-palmetto woodlands near the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of central Florida. Now it is considered endangered in the wild, although largely propagated and sold in nurseries. 

It blooms sporadically all year round, with lovely clusters of lavender/pink flowers, and its lovely light green foliage seems to walk around other plants in the garden, creating a delightful ground-cover effect. 

It prefers part shade or can take more sun with irrigation, and is mostly grown as a short-lived perennial.

  • “All items arrived quickly and well packaged. I usually expect to have one or two live items out of a batch, but they are all thriving. I couldn’t be happier!”

  • “My live plants were packed like they belonged in Ft Knox. 😂 They really were packed beautifully. Only one plant, a bee balm, is questionable but signs that it will recover are happening. All in all I am thrilled with my plants and seeds. Some of my coreopsis have already sprouted!”

  • “I’ve ordered seeds from Whitwam Organics 3 or 4 times now. I love the simple packaging, clear planting guidelines, and variety they offer. Great germination rates!! The bare root plants I’ve ordered have come healthy, so healthy that the wild rabbits always approve of my menu upgrades! 😂🐰”
