Why we love it
- Heart-shaped foliage shifts through the seasons—purplish in spring, green in summer, and warm yellow to red tones in fall
- Semi-evergreen leaves bring structure and interest beyond the growing season
- Mounding habit makes it easy to tuck into shaded spaces to add warmth and contrast
Why wildlife loves it
- Dainty bell-shaped flowers attract small bees and other pollinators
- Foliage offers shelter and cover for insects
Fun to see
- Small pollinators move methodically from flower to flower along each stem.
What to expect at pickup
Ground covers and ferns are sold as young, well rooted plugs. Shrubs are sold in 1 gallon containers.
Because this is a fall collection, some plants may have limited foliage or may be beginning to enter dormancy at pickup. This is a normal seasonal change. Their roots are healthy and ready to establish after planting.
