Texas Mountain Laurel

Dermatophyllum secondiflorum

Texas Mountain Laurel is one of the most beloved native trees in the state, announcing the arrival of spring with cascading clusters of brilliant purple blooms that fill the air with an intoxicating fragrance often compared to grape bubble gum. Its slow to moderate growth produces a dense, dark green evergreen canopy of exceptional refinement, making it equally at home as a formal specimen, courtyard tree, or naturalistic planting. Perfectly adapted to the alkaline limestone soils and drought conditions of Central and West Texas, it requires little care once established and rewards patience with decades of stunning seasonal performance.
