Texas Frogfruit can be used as an excellent ground cover and is evergreen in warm years. It is also evergreen in areas protected from frost. It spreads vigorously. Frogfruit generally is a good nectar plant for butterflies. It is an attractive plant rambling over boulders or the edges of hanging baskets. It also can tolerate drought and flooding.
This plant can take its time germinating from seed. It benefits greatly from a 6-week period of cold, moist stratification. You can use the same process we recommend for milkweeds. You can also let nature do the work over winter and plant Aug-Oct for growth in the Spring.
It roots easily from cuttings so if you get a patch going you will have more to spread in no time!
