Firethorn (Pyracantha coccinea)
Plant type: Flowering and fruiting perennial evergreen shrub with thorns.
Flowers / fruits / cones / seeds / nuts: Small white flowers that bloom in bunches in early summer and turn to bright red-orange berries in the fall.
Attracts: Birds, bees, pollinators
Reproduction / propagation : sowing, cuttings, layering
Growth pattern: Plant grows towards the sun, diagonally. Good for trellis and climbing designs, this shrub will spread out over ground covering. The diagonal growth combined with the weight of berries means that if given the opportunity, especially after long periods of rain that result in heavy wet limbs, it will touch down and establish new root systems in spots where the plant is touching the ground.
Size: 4-10 in.. can grow up to 16 feet tall and wide.
Zones: 6-9
Plant cuttings / propagations are harvested upon order. Photos show parent plants, some are rooted already, some will require time to develop as an individual. Some cuttings will be smaller and require time to grow full size. Please allow 1-2 weeks if fully rooted, or 6-8 weeks if propagated upon order.
Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata)
Plant type: Flowering ornamental perennial shrub. A floppy (though trainable) bush that serves as a bold and evolving statement piece. Also more drought-tolerant than other hydrangeas.
Flowers / fruits / cones / seeds / nuts:
- Summer: This plant blooms cone-shaped arrangements of lime flowers, that change to pale yellow, to white by late summer.
- Autumn: eventually fade to a deep pink color in autumn.
- Winter: Flowers will be dried and brown, but still be on the plant long after leaves drop. (These look gorgeous when covered in snow and lights for the holiday season as well.)
Attracts: Birds, bees, pollinators
Reproduction / propagation : sowing, cuttings, layering
Growth pattern: Plant grows towards the sun, and will continue secondary growth from nodes along each new branch. Typically will grow diagonally or upright at first, but upon development of floral bunches, the limbs gain weight and actually flop over. These will hang over sides of planters and most likely allow your plant to spread horizontally over a space if given free reign and proper moist rooting conditions. That being said, this plant is also easily trainable, and can even be tied up ponytail style to encourage upright growth and maximum height in a magnificent fountain-shaped winter display. This method allows more nodes to be higher off the ground, giving a head start for impressive height in future seasons of growth.
Size: 4-10 inches, mature plants grow 10-25 ft
Zones: 3-8 (sometimes 9)
Plant cuttings / propagations are harvested upon order. Photos show parent plants, some are rooted already, some will require time to develop as an individual. Some cuttings will be smaller and require time to grow full size. Please allow 1-2 weeks if fully rooted, or 6-8 weeks if propagated upon order.
Climbing Rose Fuchsia (Rosa sp.)
Plant type: Flowering ornamental perennial shrub with thorns.
Flowers / fruits / cones / seeds / nuts: These roses bloom in large bunches and will continuously bloom throughout the season, from May until November, if cared for and given proper conditions.
Attracts: Birds, bees, pollinators
Reproduction / propagation : sowing, cuttings, layering
Growth pattern: Plant grows up towards the sun and grows secondary branches from nodes. Will require assistance clinging to support structures if growing on a trellis, wall, or overhang. Will grow both horizontally and vertically. When planting, if young plants are planted close together, they will grow into each other to form a seemingly cohesive shrub, which to some is desirable, but will also increase the need for preventative disease treatment due to overcrowding.
Size: 4-10 inches, mature plants grow 10-25 ft
Zones: 5-9
Plant cuttings / propagations are harvested upon order. Photos show parent plants, some are rooted already, some will require time to develop as an individual. Some cuttings will be smaller and require time to grow full size. Please allow 1-2 weeks if fully rooted, or 6-8 weeks if propagated upon order.
Roses are said to vibrate at one of the highest frequencies of all plants, at up to 320 MHz.

Care:
- Preventative anti-fungal treatment may be required in certain climates and conditions. Roses prefer to dry out fully and enjoy lots of sun that will dry up excess moisture. Moisture left on leaves for too long (whether from from a lack of sun or insufficient air flow) without proper treatment can allow for black spot and other diseases to fester.
- Benefits from consistent pruning. Spacing out limbs increases airflow and decreases likelihood of disease.
- When pruning, cut at a 45 degree angle. Cut 1/8" - 1/2" above the node.
- Nodes with 3 leaves will grow a branch that specializes as a woody stem and will have new nodes along it. Cut here if looking to expand the vegetative growth of your plant.
- Nodes with 4-5 leaves or more will grow a branch that flowers at the tip. Cut here if you are looking to maintain the current shape of your plant and stimulate flowering.
- The branch that grows from the node (whether the branch is woody or flowering) will grow up in the direction that the leaves are facing. Mindfully pruning will allow you to intentionally shape your plants to your liking, depending on the landscaping needs.
Periwinkle (Creeping myrtle, Vinca minor)
Plant type: Flowering ornamental perennial ground covering.
Flowers / fruits / cones / seeds / nuts: This ground covering flowers heavily in early spring with splashes of color throughout the summer and fall.
Attracts: Birds, bees, pollinators
Reproduction / propagation : sowing, cuttings, layering, division
Growth pattern: Great for someone looking to cover a large area with low maintenance greenery. Beware, this plant will spill over planters, creep across the ground, and is really only recommended for bedded areas that are in highly controlled environments. For conservation sake, avoid using on landscapes that border protected areas or land that is not thoroughly managed.
Size: 4-10 inches, mature plants grow 8-12 inches tall but spread horizontally
Zones: 4-9
Plants are fully rooted and available for fulfillment upon ordering. Photos show parent plant fully spread out across ground covering, which will happen after a few years. Item is fully rooted. Some harvests will be smaller and require time to grow full size. Please allow 1-2 weeks for fulfillment.
Care: Very little care needed. Trim borders to prevent overgrowth and to stop plant from becoming invasive if being planted near an unmanaged parcel of land.
Purple Passion Plant (Gynura aurantiaca)
This plant, native to Southeast Asia, is known for its unusually purple leaves. The intriguing aura-like glowing pigmentation is actually due to the velvety texture. Some prefer to remove flower buds before blooming due to the smell, personally I have never noticed any fragrance. Gynura will hang over the side of a planter or will work great with support system of some kind. Plant cuttings / propagations harvested upon order. Photos show parent plants, cuttings will be smaller and require time to grow full size. Please allow 6 - 8 weeks.
Stonecrop "Autumn Joy" (Sedum Hylotelephium 'Herbstfreude')
Popular succulent forming upright branches that spread out and flower in bunches. Pink flowers in spring and summer turn to a deep maroon for a magnificent autumn color. Photos show parent plants, cuttings will be smaller and require time to grow full size.
English Ivy (Hedera helix)
For those of us in search of a charming indoor vine, or even those with a bit more extreme cottage-core daydreams... English Ivy is great, low maintenance, and will climb and spread, so it makes for a great ground, wall, or fence covering, even in shady wooded areas. That being said, it is also invasive and can pose a risk to native species. Plant this with great care, as you are responsible for finding a home for this specimen that is considerate of delicate local ecosystems. The only reason it is even available on this site is because the suburban residents who planted it failed to properly restrict its growth (given that can be difficult for plants that creep), and now it is being removed from nearby land that is neglected by big corporation/government. Please. for the sake of all of your local trees, hang it in a pot or keep it the center of your yard, surrounded by other plants, like a responsible conservation-minded person. This plant is ready to go, roots and all. Ships upon order. Some leaves may drop in the harvest process. Vines can be re-propagated as well, allowing you to grow a planter or space with thicker and thicker ivy over time.
Lilac (Syringa vulgaris)
Beautiful bold blooms in springtime. A true classic with an attractive fragrance. Plant cuttings / propagations harvested upon order.
