Description

Bring vibrant, native beauty to your landscape with the Dwarf Wild Coffee ‘Little Psycho’ (Psychotria nervosa ‘Little Psycho’). This compact evergreen shrub, reaching up to 4 feet, is perfect for shaded or partially sunny areas and thrives as an understory plant beneath trees or along garden borders. Its lush, glossy foliage is complemented by delicate summer flowers that attract pollinators, while bright red berries provide essential food for birds from fall through winter. ‘Little Psycho’ is drought-tolerant once established, easy to maintain, and even serves as a host plant for the Tersa Sphinx Moth. Ideal for Florida and other subtropical regions, this shrub adds year-round interest and supports local wildlife, making it a standout choice for native and wildlife-friendly gardens
