'Merlin' does as the name suggests and adds a bit of magic to your garden. The perennial tuber blooms heavily in early spring with white tubular flowers edged in violet. The flowers hover in bursts over whimsical, blue-green, fernlike foliage, reminiscent of bleeding hearts. 

Mature size: 10 in T x 12 in W

Minimum Temperature: -20º F

C. solida (bulbous forms) must ship before foliage develops.  Choose a shipping date between June 1 and February 1. The foliage of this plant is too delicate to ship while actively growing. 

NOTE: These are SUMMER DORMANT plants; they dry up and go "to sleep" after they bloom in spring. Do not be alarmed when they disappear with the onset of warm weather days--given proper conditions, they will be back the next spring, bigger and better than before.

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.
