New! Sisyrinchium angustifolium 'Suwannee'

A distinct variety of Blue-eyed Grass discovered on the limestone banks of a Florida river, Sisyrinchium angustifolium ‘Suwannee’ is a lovely native plant choice for the front edge of the border. Compact tufts produce narrowly sword-shaped leaves, above which an abundance of starry, pale blue flowers are borne in late spring and early summer. Described by some horticulturists as putting on “the most incredible floral show” of any Sisyrinchium, this cultivar is more floriferous and bears larger flowers (to ¾” in diameter) than its relations. It is also neater and (while it spreads by rhizomes) does not self-seed.

Plants flower best in full sun but also put on a good show in partial shade. Although the species is found in moist locations, they're not the least picky about soil and will tolerate wet and dry conditions.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available.
