Upright, thick stems with pointed, blue-green foliage. In late spring through early summer, stems are topped with large, acid-green flower heads (the bracts are actually the showy bits). This tough perennial is evergreen in mild climates; semi-evergreen in colder. Clumper; seeds a bit but is not invasive. It does best with ok drainage; might flag a bit in hot summers with high humidity.

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.
