- Dainty white flowers with yellow centers bloom from late summer into fall
- Especially good for challenging shady areas where color can be hard to achieve
Why wildlife loves it
- Important late-season nectar source for butterflies and bees
- Host plant for the pearl crescent butterfly and many species of moths
- Birds eat the seeds and use fluff for nesting material
Fun to see
- Flower centers change from yellow to red as they’re pollinated
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.
