Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Ajuga reptans 'Hayes' Candles'. In 2023, Hayes Jackson, super plantsman of Anniston, AL sent me a division of this Ajuga via Linda Askey, a mutual friend. He relayed to me that it had white flower spikes in the spring. I had never seen or heard of a white flowering Ajuga. I kept it in the greenhouse for a year or two until it had multiplied and we could divide it and put it outside. The spring of 2025, it started flowering with 4 inch spikes of clear white flowers. Hayes gave me the responsibility for naming it, so we are calling it 'Hayes Candles'. The flower spikes contrast beautifully the dark green foliage and it spreads quite rapidly. Now, how about you plant breeders put the white flowers on some deep burgundy foliage!
