| Pigeonberry, Rivina humilis |
A native perennial that can reach heights of 0.3 m (1 ft), Pigeonberry is found from the southern states into tropical South America. It blooms with small, pinkish flowers intermittently from March through October. The red berries that follow are a favorite food of many birds and can sometimes be seen alongside the flowers. Pigeonberry tolerates shade and a wide variety of soil types. While drought tolerant, extreme drought may cause it to go dormant until the next rainfall.
