Correll's bluet

I have not grown this plant.

Correll's bluet (Houstonia correllii) is a tiny endemic native Texas plant found growing nati...Read Morevely in only Zapata County, Texas. It is typically growing in loose sandy soils in openings in thorn shrublands or mesquite woodlands. The prostrate stems form loose mats that are 3 to 5 inches wide. Its narrowly spatulate, opposite leaves are usually less than 1 1/2 inches long. Appearing on short stalks from lthe leaf axils, the bright white, 4-lobed flowers are about 3/8 of an inch wide. Due to its small size, it is often not noticed.
