Collected by Dr. Alexander Garden in South Carolina and sent to England by 1765, this choice native shrub stands out in the spring and fall. It can be found in moisture-rich woodlands and boggy areas in the coastal Southeastern United States from North Carolina to Florida and Alabama. The name honors John Fothergill, a London physician who corresponded with America’s first botanist, John Bartram. Their correspondence during the mid-eighteenth century revealed much about the native flora of North America.
