Due to the winter weather, orders from these states will ship in the spring, April to May: CA, CO, IA, ID, KS, ME, MI, MN, MT, ND, NE, NH, NV, OR, SD, UT, VT, WA, WI, WY. And due to the extreme cold and wind which we experienced through the Christmas holidays of December 2022, many Osmanthus varieties won't be shipped until we are assured there is no cold damage. This may be as late as April or May, 2023. We may choose to delay shipping other plants as well.

Wine Spritzer Japanese Beautyberry. We visited a nursery in Osaka, Japan where we were shown this incredible Callicarpa. This cultivar had never been released but we were all given a plant. This is definitely a foliage plant with its surreal reticulated variegation. It is a sparse bloomer and berry producer, but who cares. With leaves like this, it is worth planting. Don't push it into the fall with a lot of fertilizer, as this will render it susceptible to cold damage. It needs to harden off well before winter. Some say that it is hardy into zone 5, but I'm going to hold my judgement until it is trialed there. Can be grown in sun or shade, but lower light seems to produce the best variegation. 

Zones 7-10
