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.

Reineckea carnea

Reineckea. With liriope-like leaves and pink flowers, one will often confuse this plant with Liriope. Unfortunately the flower stalks don't show off their wares to great advantage because they stay slightly below the tops of the leaves. Jim Martin who was once the head gardener at Brookgreen Gardens in Georgetown, SC, mentioned that the garden staff had more comments from visitors on this particular plant than any others in their great collection. The first photo comes from there where it is planted under the humongous Live Oaks. The leaves are softer than Liriope which gives it a somewhat more delicate appearance. It will grow in dense shade to part sun and will tolerate most any soil type.
