Overview

A wonderfully dramatic perennial for an area of partial shade, 'Queen of Sheba' forms a handsome clump of decorative, dusky purple foliage, above which slender, bottlebrush-like flowerspikes appear in late summer. A rare and showy woodlander, it's useful for extending the colour and interest well into autumn - and if the faded flowerheads are left intact, they will even provide an interesting silhouette throughout the winter.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
