Why we love it
- One of the most distinctive plants you can grow
- Leaf-like bracts in shades of pink and lavender stack beneath each flower, creating a layered, pagoda-like form
- Long bloom period, often lasting a month or more
- Short-lived, but self-seeds readily and reappears naturally
Why wildlife loves it
- A true pollinator magnet for bees, butterflies and hummingbird moths
- Attracts beneficial wasps that help keep pest insects in check
Fun to See
- Predatory wasps drink nectar—an active sign of a balanced garden
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.
