Description
Wingstem (Verbesina alternifolia) starter plant. Is a tall, up to 8ft plant for partially sunny to shady areas with medium to medium moist soils. Gets yellow flowers in late summer. Can be an agressive spreader by seed and rhizomes, but is a real standout for pollinators. Bees are very fond of it. Host for silvery checkerspot butterflies.
These have gone dormant for the year, but still have excellent root growth and can be planted anytime the ground isn’t frozen. Just treat as is though it were still growing and water through any prolonged dry spells. They will continue to grow roots for next season, despite having no foliage. If ordered in the fall they may still have some foliage or yellowing foliage but in late fall or winter will just be old stems. Planting dormant plants is a great way to get plants established for next season!
All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4″x4 1/2″ May be planted in the pot or removed .
