14" WHITE STOPPER

White stopper is an evergreen shrub or small tree found in coastal hammocks, strands and shell mounds in Florida’s central and southern peninsula. Its fragrant flowers bloom year-round, with peak blooming in spring and summer, attracting many types of pollinators. Fruits generally form in fall, but may persist several months. They are eaten by birds and wildlife. Humans can eat them, too — the flesh is quite sweet when ripe, but eating the bitter seeds is not recommended.

Family: Myrtaceae (Myrtle or eucalyptus family)
Native range: Central and southern peninsula into the Florida Keys.
Hardiness: Zones 9–11
Lifespan: Perennial
Soil: Moist, well-drained calcareous, loamy or sandy soils
Exposure: Full sun to minimal shade
Growth habit: 15’+ tall
Propagation: Seed (sow when berries are ripe)
Garden tips: White stopper is an attractive addition to a variety of landscapes. Its copious blooms are striking against its dark green leaves. The plant’s dense foliage and ability to be pruned into any desired shape makes it a good option for a hedge or buffer. Individual specimens are typically symmetrical and work well in formal settings. Once established, White stopper generally requires little to no maintenance.
