Mexican Heather is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its fine-textured green foliage and masses of small purple, lavender, pink, or white flowers that bloom continuously throughout the warm season. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it prefers well-drained soil and offers good heat tolerance once established. With its neat growth habit and long flowering period, Mexican Heather is ideal for borders, mass plantings, containers, and tropical landscapes seeking soft texture and dependable color.
