Euploca polyphylla
White Pineland Heliotrope is a low-growing native wildflower that spreads 6-12 inches tall and much wider, forming dense groundcover mats through underground runners. This adaptable species produces small clusters of tiny white flowers that bloom intermittently throughout the year, attracting butterflies, native bees, and other pollinators. Extremely drought-tolerant and capable of thriving in nutrient-poor sandy soils, it naturally occurs in pinelands, disturbed sites, and open areas from central Florida southward. Perfect for butterfly gardens, wildflower meadows, or naturalized landscapes, it performs well in full sun to partial shade and readily spreads to form large colonies in zones 8A-11.
