How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
A most unusual native woody plant, Fragrant Ash (Fraxinus cuspidata) blooms in the late spring with showy, fragrant flower clusters that hang down from the branch tips. It will attract birds and bees, and butterflies. It can be considered as a large, slow-growing shrub or small, multi-stemmed tree. It’s rarely available in the trade, but fortunately for High Country Gardeners, our Chief horticulturist, David Salman, has been cultivating this Fraxinus for many years and is now able to harvest seeds from his landscape plants. It grows well in a variety of soils but requires good drainage. Easy-to-grow, it’s a large shrub/small tree that is especially useful for planting in small yards and patios. Columbine (Aquilegia), Hardy Plumbago (Ceratostigma), and Hummingbird Trumpet (Zauschneria) are just a few of the part shade-loving perennials that will thrive underneath its branches.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
