Native evergreen shrub with yellow inflorescences. It has milky sap, so it should have good deer resisitance. We propagate our plants from native populations in Colleton Co., SC, and Beaufort Co., SC. It was growing in river swamps which flood after heavy rains, then dry out between rains. These areas are heavily shaded. In the nursery I grow it in regular garden soil. To my knowledge, this species has not been cultivated by anyone else.
Description
Evergreen (tardily deciduous or semi-evergreen in some areas), Native Shrub is covered with yellow-and green blooms from April to June. The fruits (three seeded capsules) turn red upon ripening. Leaves turn reddish in the fall. It is reported to grow up to 10′ high but the ones I have observed were around waist high. Native to AL , AR , FL , GA , LA , MS , NC , SC. It is critically imperilled in Arkansas and North Carolina. We propagated our plants from native populations in Colleton Co., SC. I have observed them growing in the shaded floodplains of Coastal rivers. It sometimes occurs in pine savannas and limestone bluffs. They thrive in regular soil in the shade in the nursery. To my knowledge, no one else has ever cultivated this species for sale. It is in the only member of the genus Ditrysinia in the world. I have not been able to locate any information about cultivation or wildlife usage for this species. I look forward to hearing back from people who purchase and plant it in their gardens.
