Turk's Cap, a small, spreading shrub native to Texas, is in the mallow family. It's a drought- tolerant perennial that easily reproduces by seed and will bloom all winter if the weather is mild. Cousin to the hibiscus, it produces numerous bright red erect flowers, tubular in shape and containing very sweet nectar. It is a favorite food source for migrant hummingbirds and winter hummers in Victoria, as well as several butterfly species. Winter birds also enjoy its fruit.
