Caribbean Thoroughwort

Chromolaena corymbosa

Caribbean Thoroughwort

Bring year-round greenery and beautiful winter blooms to your yard with Caribbean thoroughwort.

Caribbean thoroughwort is an easy-care, evergreen shrub native to the Caribbean. It reaches mature heights between 1 and 2.5 meters, making it a great choice to grow alongside companion plants like Lantana and Croton. This outdoor plant thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Growing this shrub is simple, even for absolute beginners. It requires moderate watering, grows at a moderate rate, and stands up well to drought once established. You can easily propagate it using seeds or cuttings.

What makes this shrub special is its winter display of dense, flat-topped flower clusters, known as corymbs. These white to pale blue blossoms pair with aromatic, textured foliage and draw lovely bees and butterflies to your garden when other plants are dormant.
