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.

Iron Butterfly Ironweed. This native perennial from Arkansas has fine foliage similar Amsonia. It has brilliant small purple aster-like flowers in late summer which are superb butterfly attractors. It needs full sun on a well drained soil for best performance. In its native haunts, this species grows on rocky riverbanks where it might be inundated by rising water for some time. But don't take this as an indication that it likes water. It will reach a height of 30-36".
