Soft, fluffy umbels of deep purple spring from bronze-purple-green leaves and attract birds, butterflies, and people. The inky darkness of the flowers and stems is very striking.  Bring it inside in colder areas to enjoy sporadic blooms in the winter. Blooms summer and fall with a little dead-heading.

Fun sun to half sun. Darker foliage with full sun. A well-drained soil of sand, coarse bark, and pumice have made ours quite happy in the border.

Mature size: 1–3 feet tall and wide.

Minimum temperature: 15° 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.
