You’ll be amazed at how many swallowtails can fit on one flowering stalk! The long wands of this plant can lean wildly in the garden, making them look like fireworks going off. Too much fertilizer, not enough sun, and poor companion planting can all lead to heavy flopping in Blazing Star. Try planting with early blooming Goldenrods, Switchgrass, Butterfly Milkweed, or Purple Coneflower.

If the flowering stems become too floppy in your site, try cutting them back by half by June.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e White, 4-6 weeks, Sep-Oct\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDark green, 2-7”, heart-shaped, serrated, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eevergreen\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 1-3’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 1-2’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Moist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Part sun-Part shade-Shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Small flies, bees, ground cover for small animals, butterfly host plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Brown seeds attached to white hairs (like small dandelions)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC native, common in the Piedmont and Mountains, rare in the Coastal Plain\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnknown, asexually propagated\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"White Wood Aster","offers":[{"title":"3.5”","offer_id":42808966873266,"sku":"","price":7.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\" deep","offer_id":45498112409778,"sku":"","price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Quart","offer_id":46354953601202,"sku":null,"price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/products\/image_2990296f-332a-443b-96a5-85c759dd37cb.jpg?v=1674497236"},{"product_id":"copy-of-copy-of-dodecatheon-meadia-midland-shooting-star","title":"Iris virginica","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSouthern Blue Flag Iris\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Iris virginica)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIris Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThis is not the bearded iris that is common in most home gardens.

Over winter, plants reduce down to basal rosettes that are flush to the ground--be sure not to cover with mulch or it can cause rot. In our hot climate, Cardinal Flower will grow best with morning to midday sun and afternoon shade. Only plant in full sun if it has constant moisture.

Fireworks is a sturdy, clump forming goldenrod that makes a spectacular fall display. As a pollinator plant, goldenrods are always at the top of the list due to their long bloom time, universally accessible flowers, and abundance of both pollen and nectar. This goldenrod is a medium-fast spreader in the garden but can easily be divided every 3-4 years. The dense, arching stems covered in white, fluffy seed heads make for great winter interest and provide habitat and food for different animals. This is a naturally occurring cultivar that was discovered in the Sandhills of North Carolina. One plant can get big enough to make a great specimen plant, but if you have the space, several in a row can be an effective small hedge.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Yellow, 4-6 weeks, Sep-Oct\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Dark green, leathery, 3-6”, lanceolate, simple, serrate, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eevergreen basal rosette\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 3-4’ \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 2-3’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Moist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e High \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.62px; font-weight: 400;\"\u003epollinator\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e value--bees, wasps, flies, and beetles, seeds for birds, host plant to numerous insects\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Typical aster-like seeds of white fluffs attached to curved stalks, turn golden brown in winter, very attractive\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e(parent species) \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC native, common across the state\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eNorth Carolina, asexually propagated\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Fireworks Goldenrod","offers":[{"title":"3.5\"","offer_id":42809317130418,"sku":"","price":7.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\" deep","offer_id":47162479706290,"sku":null,"price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Quart","offer_id":46336047874226,"sku":null,"price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/products\/image_b7732799-5589-45e5-a2e5-223629f1c7de.jpg?v=1678645043"},{"product_id":"copy-of-solidago-rugosa-fireworks-fireworks-goldenrod","title":"Symphyotrichum oblongifolium","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAromatic Aster\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Symphyotrichum oblongifolium)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAster Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eOne of the last asters to bloom in the fall, you and the bees can enjoy purple blooms well into November.

Dense plumes of blue-violet flowers have a long bloom time during mid to late summer, and are a bumblebee favorite.  It will grow in  average to rocky soil and sun to part shade. It is not overly aggressive, but will fill in nicely in a short amount of time.

While there is a peak bloom time of about 4-6 weeks, plants will continue to put out sporadic blooms well into late summer and early fall. Callirhoe has an extremely long tap root, which makes it very drought tolerant, but also very difficult to transplant after the first year or two, so site it well.

Large, prickly seed heads look nice through the winter and will let you know where your plant is, as the foliage dies all the way back each year. \u003cem\u003eEchinacea\u003c\/em\u003e is an important medicinal plant and has many recognized uses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Pink, 6-8 weeks, May-July\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDark green, roughly textured,  6” long, coarsely\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e toothed, ovate, simple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e3-4’  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 2’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Dry-Moist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Full-Part Sun-Part Shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e High pollinator value, host plant for butterflies, seeds for birds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDark, prickly seed head, filled tightly with numerous nutlets, most of which are not viable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC Native, rare in the Piedmont and Mountains\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Unknown, seed grown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Purple Coneflower","offers":[{"title":"3.5”","offer_id":42808946753714,"sku":"","price":7.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\" deep","offer_id":43557119721650,"sku":"","price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Quart","offer_id":47454681792690,"sku":null,"price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/products\/26-coneflower.png?v=1674408007"},{"product_id":"copy-of-echinacea-purpurea-purple-coneflower","title":"Eutrochium purpureum","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Joe-Pye-Weed\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eEutrochium purpureum\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAster Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAll gardens should have at least one Joe-Pye, and this is the one for the shadier and\/or smaller spaces.

Six foot tall, sturdy, stalks rise up from evergreen, blue-green, waxy basal leaves that can reach 2’ in length. Yellow, drooping petals surround an elongated brown cone that can be from 2-6’' tall. Goldfinches love to sit and sway on the tall stems and pick the seeds out once ripe. Not picky about soil type and very drought tolerant once established. It will spread slowly through rhizomes and self-seeds lightly.

While it truly shines in fall when it produces large clusters of bright magenta berries, the cheery green leaves and small pink flowers are lovely garden accents in spring and summer. Fruit production is best in full sun, but plants look lovely at the woodland's edge and will still produce fruit with just a couple of hours of sun. They will grow in moist soil, but not consistently wet soil, and are fairly drought tolerant once established.Try planting as a hedge for a truly stunning fall fruit display. To keep plants between 4-5”, prune back stems to 6-10” above the ground in winter. Flowering occurs on new growth, so fruit production is promoted this way. Plants are self fertile, but will produce more fruit with 2 or more plants to cross pollinate. Berries are edible, but not very tasty off the bush–look up recipes for preserves or jellies.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlooms: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePink, 3-4 weeks, May-June\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003eBright g\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ereen, simple, elliptical, 3-6”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e4-8’  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 3-4’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Moist-Dry\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFull sun-Part sun-Part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Berries for birds and mammals, moth host plant\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMagenta berries form clusters around the stem starting in fall and into winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7-11\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC Native, common in the Piedmont \u0026amp; Coastal Plain, rare in the Mountains\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eNC, seed grown\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Beauty Berry","offers":[{"title":"1x7\" tubling","offer_id":67582340923570,"sku":null,"price":5.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2x7\" Tube","offer_id":44184905023666,"sku":"","price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3x8\" Tree pot","offer_id":42805626831026,"sku":"","price":16.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (no shipping!)","offer_id":47315776405682,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/files\/216024A5-B506-4B2C-9C06-1D88949EFF15.jpg?v=1703707991"},{"product_id":"copy-of-callicarpa-americana-american-beauty-berry","title":"Cephalanthus occidentalis","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eButton Bush\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eCephalanthus occidentalis\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadder Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eButton Bush has one of the most unique flowers of all our native shrubs.

Flowers usually last just one day, but blooming occurs most of the summer. Large, egg-shaped fruits hang on the vine after flowering, but they are not the tasty passionfruit you may be thinking of. They are edible, but it is an acquired taste–they are ripe when they turn wrinkly and yellow. Passionflower will be happiest with a break from the afternoon sun, and works well in both a woodlands edge setting and a pollinator garden. Vines send out suckers and can become quite aggressive when happy. Not recommended for the small garden, but does well in pots.

Its bright pink flowers with extra long yellow anthers are a favorite of bumblebees. Watching the bumblebees work the large anthers is the perfect example of “buzz pollination”. Crimson red, urn shaped seed heads replace the flowers, giving the Meadow Beauty fall and winter interest. This plant is found naturally in moist to wet, sandy or peaty seeps and meadows. It will grow best in the garden in moist soils with lots of sun–acidic soil is not necessary in the garden. Its short stature makes it a front of garden plant. It can spread rapidly through rhizomes, but does not overwhelm other plants.

This large shrub thrives in a variety of habitats, from moist woodlands to roadside thickets, and is valued both for its ecological benefits—such as providing food and shelter for wildlife—and its uses in traditional medicine. The berries, when properly prepared, are often used to make syrups, jams, and wines.  However, caution is advised as raw berries and other parts of the plant can be toxic if consumed in large quantities. Elderberry has a high wildlife value and can often be seen covered in various pollinators. It is a host plant to several lepidopteran species and specialized beetles. Berries are an important food source for several species of birds. This is a very large, but very prunable shrub. It prefers to be in consistently moist soil, but can adapt to average garden soil.

Birds will eat the fruit as a last resort in lean, late winter months.

Its densely arranged leaves are covered in fine hairs, creating a soft, pale green look that contrasts with its vivid violet flowers. The flowers, which appear from late summer through fall, appear in clusters along the upper stems, giving the plant an airy look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In the wild, it thrives in dry, sandy, and well-drained soils, often found in pine woodlands, scrublands, and roadbanks. In the home garden, it performs best in full sun and lean soils.

It typically has a suckering nature, but can be pruned to one or several stems. It’s unique in its flowering time of very late fall or early winter when few other plants are flowering. The yellow flowers have long, fringe-like petals and are thought to be pollinated by gnats, some late flying bees, and\/or a cold hardy moth species. Seeds take an entire year to mature, and when ripe, loudly expel 10-20’ from the tree. Best flowering will occur in more sun and moist soils, but this plant is naturally an understory plant, so can tolerate close to full shade.

Plants in NC often begin blooming in March and will continue well into fall and sometimes winter. In peak bloom, mature vines are covered in hundreds or coral pink, tubular blooms with bright yellow throats. Leaves are an attractive blue-green color, with new growth having strong purple hues.  It is a favorite host plant of the Snowberry Clearwing moth–caterpillars can often totally defoliate this plant in late summer at no harm to the vine. Bright red fruits replace the flowers, and are a favorite of birds. A coral honeysuckle of different genetics, like the straight species, is needed for significant fruit production.The cultivar ‘Major Wheeler’ differs from the straight species in its extra-long bloom time, denser floral display, and resistance to powdery mildew.

Dark green leaves occur in progressively smaller whorls all the way up the stem. In mid-summer, flowering spikes start emerging from the very top of the plant. Candelabra-like flowers are made up of hundreds of tiny white flowers with distinctive orange stamens that open gradually from the bottom up. Bead-like seed capsules that retain the candelabra structure replace the flowers in the fall and winter. Seeds and foliage turn a striking black in the winter, adding color and texture to the winter garden. This is one of those plants where the buzzing is audible due to the high number of pollinators that visit. It is a particular favorite of wasps, and you are likely to see several different wasp species at any given time visiting. Planting in groups of 3 makes a beautiful display in the garden, but it is also effective as a specimen plant. It can take ~3 years to really mature, but it is well worth the wait. Planting in full sun in moist soils is ideal, but it is fairly drought resistant when established. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e White, 4-6 weeks, June-July\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDark green, 6” lanceolate, whorled leaves, turn attractive black in winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 4-6’ \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 2’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Moist\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  Full sun-Part sun\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e High pollinator value--bees, flies, wasps, seeds for small animals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eCandelabra like seed heads are beaded and turn a striking deep black that is attractive all winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e High\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC Native, uncommon in the Mountains, rare in the Piedmont\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnknown, seed grown\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Culver's Root","offers":[{"title":"3.5”","offer_id":42809337315506,"sku":"","price":7.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5\" deep","offer_id":43560682029234,"sku":"","price":10.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/files\/image_58d1ad3c-ee6a-4689-a2e7-d8ed6a61a32b.heic?v=1686359384"},{"product_id":"copy-of-phlox-divaricata-wild-blue-phlox","title":"Mitchella repens","description":"\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePartridgeberry\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003e(Mitchella repens)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMadder Family\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePartridge berry is an evergreen, low-growing woody vine that can be used as a groundcover in shady woodlands.

Both flowers must be pollinated in order to form a single red fruit. Two scars from the twin flowers can be seen on the fruit. Fruit often persists into late winter until they are eaten by birds or other small animals. Plant in semi-shady woodlands with average to moist soils for best growth.

Spicebush is a very adaptable shrub that can go in dappled shade to almost full sun if kept in consistently moist soil. Male and female flowers are produced on separate plants, so you need both to produce fruit. The bright red fruits (drupes) are produced in early fall and are an important fatty food source for overwintering and migrating birds.

Six hours of sun in average to moist soils is ideal, but more or less sun is also tolerated. The more sun you plant in, the more moisture is appreciated. In late spring, 4-6”, wildly arrayed racemes of white flowers appear that attract pollinators of all kinds, but are particularly attractive to butterflies.

Leaves turn shades of red and orange in the fall, and some usually remain on the red stems through the winter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBlooms:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e White, 2-3 weeks, May\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eLeaves: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMedium green, simple, oval, turn shades of yellow, red, and orange in fall\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 4-6’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpace:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e 2-3’\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Average-Moist-Wet\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eExposure:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e  Full sun-Part sun-Part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eFauna:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e Bees, butterflies, moths, beetles\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeeds: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDrooping brown clusters of seeds are attractive through the winter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeer Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: High\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5-9\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNative Status: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eNC Native, common in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain, uncommon in the Mountains\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnknown, asexually and seed propagated\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virginia Sweetspire","offers":[{"title":"1x7\" tubling","offer_id":47502364836018,"sku":null,"price":7.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"5” deep","offer_id":42809113116850,"sku":"","price":12.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3x8\" tree pot","offer_id":44290743861426,"sku":"","price":16.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallon (no shipping)","offer_id":47315786858674,"sku":null,"price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/8968\/1586\/files\/60426341-9610-482B-ACDC-2C71FAE3D7A2.heic?v=1703784012"}],"url":"https:\/\/flowerofcarolina.com\/collections\/plants.oembed?page=5","provider":"Flower of Carolina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
