Dodonea viscosa - Hopseed Bush

Market price from $37.99 to $104.99

Dodonea viscosa is the go-to choice for a robust and resilient display in your garden or landscape. This evergreen shrub, fondly known as Hopseed Bush, hails from the distinguished Sapindaceae family. Celebrated for its speedy growth, Hopseed Bush confidently stretches up to a remarkable 12-15 feet high and broadens to an impressive 6-8 feet wide. Offering privacy and wind protection, its glossy, lance-shaped leaves generously sprout all around and gradually morph from a lively green to an intriguing purplish-red in the cool fall months. Nestled beneath these vibrant foliage are small clusters of green flowers, subtly blooming in their own time, only to evolve into textured paper-like seed pods that add a twist of curiosity to the overall aesthetics. This hardy plant is a perfect choice for any landscape, as it flourishes in both full sun and light shade, is compatible with diverse soil types, and possesses a strong defiance against drought. Offering more than its charms to the human eye, Hopseed also wards off deer, establishing its place as an adaptable, practical, and alluring addition to any garden setting.
