'Fairy Hair', introduced by Talon Buchholz in Gaston, Oregon, has such fine, thread-like leaves as to be mistaken for the hair of a fairy, should you so believe. (Fine + airy = fairy.) In spring, orange-red filamentous leaves turn green in summer, then orange-red again in fall, with red petioles and red branches. This would make an excellent container plant (it's slow-growing), and an unusual bonsai candidate! It's delightful and enchanting, extremely dwarf, and rare.  

Mature size: 2 feet tall x 1 foot wide in 10 years.

Minimum temperature: -20° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
