Plante de houx Yaupon (Ilex vomitoria)
Plante indigène de Floride à feuilles persistantes contenant de la caféine et aux racines culturelles
Le houx vomitif ( Ilex vomitoria ) est un arbuste ou un petit arbre indigène, robuste et persistant, qui nourrit et dynamise les populations du Sud-Est américain depuis des siècles. On le trouve naturellement le long des côtes de Floride, dans les pinèdes et les hamacs. Le houx vomitif est apprécié pour ses baies rouge vif , son feuillage dense et brillant et ses feuilles contenant de la caféine – il est la seule plante naturellement caféinée d'Amérique du Nord. Ses petites fleurs blanches printanières attirent les pollinisateurs, et ses baies nourrissent les oiseaux chanteurs et la faune sauvage durant l'hiver, ce qui en fait une plante à la fois essentielle à l'écosystème et d'une grande beauté en toute saison.
Importance culturelle et médicinale
Bien avant l'arrivée du café et du thé en Amérique, les peuples autochtones – notamment les Timucua, les Creek et les Cherokee – infusaient les feuilles de yaupon pour obtenir une tisane stimulante appelée « boisson noire ». Consommée lors de cérémonies et au quotidien pour favoriser la concentration, l'énergie et la purification, cette tisane est aujourd'hui redécouverte comme une plante à thé indigène et durable, au goût doux semblable à celui du maté : naturellement peu amère et riche en antioxydants. Cultiver du yaupon, c'est renouer avec cette tradition ancestrale du Sud et contribuer à la restauration de l'une des espèces indigènes les plus importantes de Floride.
Pourquoi cultiver le houx Yaupon ?
- Arbre à feuilles persistantes originaire de Floride qui favorise les pollinisateurs et les oiseaux toute l'année

Let customers speak for us
Worked like an absolute charm!
These markers were perfect for ones that we were replacing. The quality is great and they seem sturdy. The gold detail stands out and is visible from a distance. Shipping was very fast.
Good solution. The little flies have disappeared. We were sure to mist/moisten the surface of each plant once a day for 4 or 5 days, after the initial application of the nematodes, to keep the little guys mobile and able to get to any remaining eggs. So, go for it!
Plant was well packed and shipment was very fast. Received a very nice fully rooted plant in the pot!
The organic garden soil is doing very well in my garden bed. The company was professional, nice, and accommodating to my needs. They provide many types of things for your landscaping at a reasonable price.
Product was delivered promptly and the quality of the product was very good, as hoped for. I was thrilled to receive the product so quickly! Thank you!
Product is great. Didn't care for having to pay am extra $17 tariff to UPS to get it delivered, but I guess that's not your doing. Thank you Mr. President.
My new babay arrived safely and only lost two little leaves so far. The first one I ordered from different shop arrived with two leaves attached that fell off within ten minutes of unboxing and 22 leaves that had came off during shipping. So glad she arrived looking as beautiful as i was hoping. Also had a surprise red arrow syngonium cutting that’s beautiful. Also customer service was amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Hoghly recommend this shop.
Great flag and it works well on our hangar ceiling. A little worried it wouldn't arrive in time for our event but it did.
Enjoyed putting them together
I think I’m in love! This beauty came delicately packaged. Seemed to have no stress at all from shipping. I live in Miami, I was worried about shipping all the way from California. To my surprise she arrived well taken care of already. I can tell this grower takes pride in caring for these babies. Shipping was fast. I just ordered again same day!
Great service and great product. Delivery was quick. Good communication.
lovely olive jar, attractive to keep on display. And useful too.
Fast delivery . Product exactly matches description. Easy to contact with same day replies. We will use them again.
Great job from growing to shipping
