Texas Kidneywood

Eysenhardtia texana (Texas Kidneywood) is a drought-tolerant, deciduous shrub that grows 3-10 feet tall, featuring fragrant, resinous leaves and white, aromatic flower spikes that appear intermittently from May to October, especially after rain. Its open, airy structure and pungent, citrusy foliage make it a popular choice for xeriscaping. This fast-growing shrub attracts bees and butterflies, including the Dogface butterfly, which uses it as a larval host.
