This shrub-like perennial has branched, arching, thin red stems covered with trifoliate leaves made of long, olive-green leaflets. In early summer, light and airy masses of white blooms with showy red calyces effervesce. Autumn finds it ablaze in oranges and yellows. A North American native, best with summer water and bright shade, it will attract butterflies but usually not deer.

Mature size: 3 feet T x 2 feet W.

Minimum temperature: -30° 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.
