Ordering plants has concluded for the season. The selection on our website is what is overwintered at the nursery. Our Spring 2025 plant catalog will be available later this winter.

A useful native shrub that thrives in diverse conditions. Spreads by rhizomes to form thickets. The glossy leaves are fragrant when crushed and turn a wonderful array of oranges and reds in fall. May produce furry red berries that are eaten by birds or will persist into winter. Grows well in a range of soils, including clay,  but avoid areas with poor drainage.
