Psychotria

1 cultivar

Psychotria is a diverse genus of tropical and subtropical shrubs and small trees valued for their lush, glossy foliage, compact branching forms, and distinctive woodland character. Commonly recognized for species like Wild Coffee, these versatile evergreens feature deeply veined leaves and produce small clusters of inconspicuous flowers, which are often followed by bright, ornamental berry-like drupes in shades of red. Thriving in partial to full shade, Psychotria species are ideal candidates for understory landscapes, shaded tropical gardens, and wildlife-oriented plantings. Because of their adaptable and often manageable growth habits, many selections are also highly suitable for container growing on patios, in conservatories, or as part of a layered landscape where their rich texture and colorful fruits add year-round interest.
