Native of the Week: Frostweed (Verbesina virginica

Native of the Week: Frostweed (Verbesina virginica)

Frostweed is an exceptional nectar source for butterflies. You can often see butterflies around your Pipevine, Monarchs, and Great Purple Hairstreaks. It has actually been marked as an important nectar source for monarchs.

It is named 'Frostweed' because the stem splits during the first frost. The sap oozes out of the winged stem, freezes and curls into fascinating ribbons, forming mini ice sculptures.

*Fun Fact: Frostweed has large leaves that are dark green, and Native Americans would roll them and smoke them in special ceremonies like tobacco and used for many medicinal purposes.

What’s your favorite Texas native tree?

One of ours definitely has to be Roughleaf Dogwood (Cornus drummondii). Not only do you get to enjoy an abundance of creamy white flowers in the spring but you also get some beautiful fall color! As well as a winter show from its reddish-brown bark and stems.

It’s flowers nectar attracts various bees, butterflies and moths! It then produces fruit that attracts many songbirds and small mammals. A great tree to add to your landscape, it attracts much wildlife as it provides food and shelter.

Plant in an area that receives full sun to partial shade.
