Dyschoriste linearis

Add some color to your garden with this playful plant! Its chirpy branches and limbs are covered in stiff, hairy coats, ready to burst with cheerful, two-lipped bell-shaped flowers in pale lavender to purple. These happy blooms will dance between the vibrant leaves, filling your space with a pop of playful purple. Enjoy the show in late spring and late summer, with plenty of moisture. Ideal for well-drained soils and sunny spots, this plant is a must-have for any western Texas garden!

Sometimes we get in Dyschoriste crenulata (Wavyleaf Snakeherb). The difference is in flower color and leaf width. Otherwise they work in the landscape the same.
