Product Information
- The photos show the mature plant in the future, not the actual plant you will receive.
- Most of our plants are shipped in 2 ½ inch square by 3 ½ inch deep pots to encourage root growth and hold shipping costs down. Please notify us immediately of any damage incurred in shipping. Broken leaves and bent stems, while unsightly, generally are not cause for alarm. Remember, the plant has just been packed in a box, thrown on a truck, and driven across the country. A healthy happy plant will speedily recover from minor bumps and bruises.
- Hardy perennial. Winter hardy (zones 3 to 9).
- The plant prefers full direct sun (minimum of 4 or 5 hours a day) partial shade for most of the day.
- Large common multi-branched perennial often found in disturbed ground and waste areas; easily recognized by the clusters of purple-black berries from mid-summer on. The berries give a strong red dye that has been used to color confections and wines.
