February days find new sea-green blades pushing skyward. By early May, four-foot spires are covered in white star flowers with prominent stamens and pinkish-tan midribs. Bees and butterflies will take advantage! Coming from the Mediterranean, particularly the Catalan coast, but also from N. Africa, it likes rocky hillsides - tough and tolerant. If you can loosely approximate those conditions - well-draining soil and lots of sunshine - you'll be sure to have good results. They even remain attractive in late season when the flowers become shining, golden orbs. Clumping habit to 16" wide.

We grow these plants in several places in our gardens. Our largest plants are in a rocky SE-sloped area by a parking pad for added radiant heat. We also have them in our dry meadow on the NW side of the garden. They are in heavy clay with poor drainage. They still naturalize politely throughout, but the clumps of foliage are significantly smaller, closer to 8-20 in W x 12 in T with smaller spires that still reach 3-4 ft T.

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.
