Field Notes

Description:

This is a South African plant and was once used to treat lead poisoning. The hairy buds are sticky and often catch onto your clothes or hair. This helps disperse their seeds. Multiple blue flowers.

Habitat:

Yards and gardens. Sometimes used as a hedge along roads here in Florida.
