Overview

This wonderful foliage plant naturally forms a dense shrubby bush, which makes it perfect for adding textural interest to mixed borders. It's happiest when grown in partial shade, although it can also be planted in a sunnier spot provided it is kept well watered throughout the warmer weather. It looks great in a pot, and if planted densely enough, it can also be used as taller groundcover. It's a great addition to both small and large gardens, and although it does have short, spreading rhizomes, it won't spread vigorously and take over the whole garden!

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

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.
