Tropical Puff (Neptunia pubescens) is a charming short-lived perennial flower, ideally suited for use as a groundcover. This low-growing plant reaches heights of 0.25 to 0.5 feet and thrives in full sun with very dry lime rock or sandy soil. Its preference for calcareous, high-pH conditions makes it well-suited to specific landscapes requiring hardy plants for challenging environments.
The Tropical Puff features striking yellow, showy flowers and unique foliage, adding visual appeal to gardens while serving an ecological purpose. It attracts bees and butterflies, providing valuable support to pollinator populations, and acts as a larval host for Ceranus Blue butterflies. With its low-maintenance requirements and captivating features, Tropical Puff is an excellent addition to gardens aiming to enhance biodiversity while maintaining aesthetic charm.
