Often found along roadsides and fencelines of South Texas, Balsam Gourd (Ibervillea lindheimeri) likes to clambor up trees and sturdy shrubs. It has a tubular yellow flower that offers nectar to pollinators and then produces a vibrant red fruit that persists through September. Great for shade gardens and for a whimsical feel to your native garden!
