White stopper

White Stopper is a native evergreen shrub or small tree, native to the coastal hammocks, tropical hardwood forests, and pineland edges of south Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Caribbean, known for its spicy, clove-like or cinnamon fragrance that can be detected from several feet away — the aromatic foliage distinguishes this species from most other Florida stoppers. Clusters of small, white, four-petaled flowers appear in summer and fall, followed by round berries that ripen from red to black and are an important food source for migrating songbirds in fall and winter. It grows to small tree size in protected hammock situations or can be maintained as a dense, evergreen hedge through pruning. White Stopper tolerates partial shade and is one of the most salt-spray-tolerant of the native Eugenia species, making it a versatile choice for coastal gardens in zones 9b–11 that need a fragrant, wildlife-supporting evergreen screen. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 36–60 дюймів Висота: 72–240 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–30 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
