Description

Cyrilla racemiflora, commonly called Swamp Titi or Leatherwood, is a distinctive Southeastern U.S. native celebrated for its elegant late-summer racemes of fragrant white flowers that attract clouds of pollinators. This versatile small tree to large shrub thrives in moist, acidic soils—including wetlands—and brings year-round interest with glossy green foliage that often warms to rich coppery-red tones in fall. Its naturally irregular, picturesque branching structure makes it an outstanding accent in naturalistic, woodland, or waterside landscapes. Historically valued in native ecosystems for supporting honey production (notably producing the well-known “titi honey”), Swamp Titi remains a horticultural favorite for ecological restoration, rain gardens, and moisture-loving landscapes.
