Pineland blackanthers (Melanthera parvifolia) is an endemic herbaceous plant in South Florida pine rocklands and is state listed as threatened. The species was described in 1903 by John Kunkel Small based on a specimen from Big Pine Key in Monroe County. It is predominantly in Miami-Dade and Collier Counties.
Extremely drought tolerant and resembles a miniature form of the common Melanthera nivera. It's so cute! Pollinator magnet, extremely durable and fast growing. Fills small spaces and borders very nicely. 4" pots, shipped in pot if shipping is selected.
