Guinea Hen Weed (Petiveria alliacea), also known as Gully Root, is a rare Florida native shrub that has intrigued gardeners and herbal enthusiasts for generations. This perennial grows to a modest height of approximately 3 feet, making it a versatile addition to smaller garden spaces or natural landscapes. Its delicate greenish-white flowers add subtle beauty, while its unique garlic-like aroma serves as a natural and effective insect repellant.
