Native to South Florida! The Jamaica Caper is a great choice for landscaping projects. This upright to spreading plant is related to the plant producing edible capers, and its evergreen leaves are light-green above, with fine brown scales below. The glossy, oval leaves are folded together when they first emerge and give the plant's new growth a bronze appearance. The leaves also have a notched tip. Twigs are brownish gray and pubescent. The Jamaica Caper flowers have very showy, two-inch-long, purple stamens and white anthers and white petals.
