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
Plants are sold as young, well-rooted plugs. Some may be just emerging or still waking up from dormancy at pickup—they’ll grow and fill in as the season unfolds.
Before you order

• Choose your pickup Saturday at checkout
• Orders must be picked up on that date
• Plants are living and may vary in appearance
• All sales are final once plants are picked up
