Vasey's Wild-lime

Adelia vaseyi

FAMILY: Euphorbiaceae (Spurge Family)

A resilient native native Texas shrub that provides year-round foliage and structure to the landscape. Native across the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes, Vasey's Wild-lime (Adelia vaseyi) thrives in local conditions while supporting the surrounding ecosystem. During spring, the plant produces green, white, yellow flower clusters. The species provides essential habitat and food, supporting Butterflies. Thriving in dry, loam, and well drained, Vasey's Wild-lime demonstrates outstanding hardiness once established. It requires minimal supplemental water and adapts seamlessly to drought conditions.
