Why we love it
- Brings a soft wash of lavender-blue color in spring, just as the garden is waking up
- Low-growing habit makes it easy to integrate into woodland plantings
- May self-seed lightly, helping fill in open spaces over time
Why wildlife loves it
- Early-season nectar source for bees and other pollinators
Fun to see
- The evenly spaced leaflets resemble the rungs of a ladder.
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.
