Add a touch of wild Florida charm with Tarflower (Bejaria racemosa), a striking evergreen shrub known for its showy white to pink blooms and glossy black fruit. Growing 6–8 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, Tarflower thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained sandy soil. Blooming from spring through summer, its sticky flowers attract a fascinating array of native pollinators including sweat bees, resin bees, leaf-cutters, and bumble bees along with curious flies. A favorite among wildlife gardeners, Tarflower supports biodiversity while adding beauty and intrigue to your landscape.
