Received my 'ferns' today and
all is well. The packaging was superb and I'm happy to announce
there was no obvious wilting or sulking. All is well and the
transaction was perfect. The 'cats' are still playing in the
shipping box so everyone is blissful. Hope you have a very nice day

looking forward to future transactions.

Callirhoe digitata
Fringed Poppy Mallow, Standing Wine Cup, Finger Mallow
Zone 5-8
The mid-West Native is
great for the person who doesn't have the room it takes to grow
Callirhoe involucrata below or wants a more vertical tower of
blooming power because this Native doesn't let up from May
through September! Long tap root makes plant drought
tolerant when established but difficult to move successfully, so
plant it where you want it to stay. Bluish white, thin,
finger-like foliage and fringed tipped magenta blooms.
Plants tend to 'lean' in soil that's too rich. Plant in the
most pathetic well-drained spot in your garden where next to nothing
will grow, don't fertilize and it will be mucho happy! Well
does it sound near perfect? Okay, the downside -- deer and
rabbits do like it so it's not quite perfect but it doesn't seem to
mind the rabbits eating the lower foliage. With deer eating
the upper foliage, it's another matter.
