The Gro-Low Sumac is a selected form of an American native shrub, fragrant sumac. It makes an excellent ground-cover in areas ranging from full sun to light full shade, and everything in between. It grows in all zones, from 3 to 9, and this tough plant creates a carpet of branches and leaves less than 2 feet tall, but over 6 feet wide. It is fast growing, and only takes two or three seasons to fill in and reach a mature size. It has leaves in clusters of three, and the twigs and leaves have a resinous, lemony scent. They turn rich purple-red in fall, highlighted by orange and yellow, making a lovely show late in the season. Clusters of yellow flowers decorate the branches in spring, and the rich-green glossy leaves look great all spring and summer long. Beautiful ground-cover deciduous shrub Deep green and glossy foliage Dramatic fall colors of purple-red, orange and yellow bright yellow flower clusters in spring Easily grown in every garden Plant the Gro-Low Sumac in ordinary soil. It will grow in almost any soil, including urban gardens, but it does not grow so well in wet clay, or badly drained areas. It needs no particular care, and once established it is drought resistant, and chokes out weed growth. It has no significant pests or diseases and it can be trimmed as needed to keep it very neat, or you can leave it to grow naturally for wild and native gardens.
30 Hand made seed bombs from recycled paper scraps in a marbled appearance resembling our Mother Earth Give back to Mother Earth whenever you can! (Remember Mother Earth on Mother's Day!!!!). Each Seed ball is hand formed from a mixture of robin egg blue paper scraps, grass green paper scraps, and an assortment of flower seeds Seed balls are approximately the size of a marble- but since they are hand made- sizes may vary. All plantable paper products are MADE TO ORDER after purchase and receiving payment. Please allow 5-9 business days for production before shipping to ensure paper is thoroughly dried. Seeds may include but are not limited to: White Yarrow, Purple coneflower, Shirley Poppy, , Red prairie coneflower, Catchfly, Snapdragon, and sweet alyssum Planting instructions: For best results: Find a sunny area.

Water area to keep soil completely moistened during germination (approximately the first 3-7 days) , then water as needed. Guerilla Gardening Method: The activity of growing plants on any piece of land, especially land that is in bad condition because it has not been used for a long time. People do this in cities so they will have more green areas and be better places to live. To ‘activate’ the seed bombs for guerilla gardening, soak them in a bowl of water for at least one hour until they are squishy. Then you can ‘bomb’ any area outside you would like to add a little color with flowers. The seed balls will splatter– thus looking like little bombs when off! Happy Gardening! International customers: My apologies, but I am not able to ship any 'live seed' products to international destinations. Every country has their own specific laws about shipping seeds, and some require special licenses and so on. NEED A DIFFERENT QUANTITY? Not a problem! Just convo me and I will post you are reserved custom listing for your specific quantity. I love helping with special events!!!

36 - 48 Inches 36 - 60 Inches 36 - 60 Inches 91cm - 1.2m 91cm - 1.5m 91cm - 1.5m Features In a perfect world, azaleas would bloom for months instead of just weeks and have big, full flowers with pure and true colors. That's exactly what Perfecto Mundo™ azaleas do. The new Epic sub-series offers flowers of truly epic proportions. Perfecto Mundo Epic Coral azaleas have gigantic pink-orange colored flowers with thick, petal-like stamens that gives each bloom a semi-double effect. Look for them to begin their colorful bloom in spring, along with other azaleas, then after a brief rest to create new growth, put out new flowers from mid/late summer until frost. Top reasons to grow Perfecto Mundo Epic Coral azalea: - Reblooming azalea provides months of blooms, not merely weeks - Resistant to lacebug, a pest that can be problematic in certain areas - Grows in sun or part shade Continuous Bloom or Rebloomer Deadheading Not Necessary Characteristics Plant Type: Shrub Shrub Type: Evergreen Height Category: Short Garden Height: 36 - 48 Inches 91cm - 1.2m Spacing: 36 - 60 Inches 91cm - 1.5m Spread: 36 - 60 Inches 91cm - 1.5m Flower Colors: Pink Flower Shade: Orangey-Pink Foliage Colors: Green Foliage Shade: Green Habit: Mounded Container Role: Thriller Plant Needs Light Requirement: Part Sun to Sun Light Requirement: Sun The optimum amount of sun or shade each plant needs to thrive: Full Sun (6+ hours), Part Sun (4-6 hours), Full Shade (up to 4 hours). Maintenance Category: Easy Blooms On: New Wood Blooms On: Old Wood Bloom Time: Spring Bloom Time: Mid Summer Bloom Time: Late Summer Bloom Time: Early Fall Bloom Time: Mid Fall Hardiness Zones: 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b Water Category: Average Soil Fertility Requirement: Average Soil Soil PH Category: Acidic Soil Uses: Border Plant Uses: Edging Plant Uses: Landscape Uses: Mass Planting Uses: Specimen or Focal Point Uses Notes: Azaleas are a classic choice for landscaping, especially planted in front of homes and on banks. Planting a reblooming azalea like Perfecto Mundo Epic Coral means you get more flowers, however you wish to incorporate them into your landscape or garden. Maintenance Notes: Perfecto Mundo Epic Coral azalea blooms on old wood in spring, then later, on new wood. As such, it should only be pruned immediately after its spring bloom. Even if it doesn't need pruning, it's not a bad practice to give the plant a light trim after its spring bloom, which encourages new growth - the more new growth it puts on after that spring bloom, the more rebloom you'll get. A note on hardiness: Perfecto Mundo Epic Purple azalea is hardy to USDA zone 6b, and is better suited to milder coastal areas of zone 6b than harsh Midwestern sites. If you wish to plant it in zone 6b, select a protected location and mulch well. Do not fertilize after mid-July in these areas. If you do wish to fertilize, do so in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge, and then again after the spring bloom is complete. Use a rose fertilizer.

It is also used for breakouts. Wonderfully soothing when used as a compress, for irritations. It is one of the top face toners available. Once you have used Helichrysum Water, you will never go back to using commercial toners. Helichrysum is extremely effective for reducing puffiness around the eyes.

Helichrysum is a strongly calming substance. It reduces skin irritations such as breakouts, roughness, or uncomfortable skin. A compress can be made, to relieve irritated skin. _____________________________ SKIN TYPE: Helichrysum Hydrosol, used as a facial toner, is best suited to these skin types: -oily -breakouts -greasy nose areas -large pores on nose or chin -combination skin (use on oily mid-strip, not on dry outer strip) -any skin type that prefers a deep-cleansing after-feel _____________________________ AROMA: Some people compare its aroma to tea with honey.

Hydrosols do not require dilution before topical application, even for babies. __________________________________ WHAT IS A HYDROSOL? When plant matter is steam distilled, in order to produce essential oils: - essential oils are produced (oil-soluble constituents). - hydrosols are produced (water-soluble constituents). Hydrosols contain all of the water-soluble chemical constituents of the distilled plant matter. Hydrosols retain a small amount of essential oil compounds, with nutritious minerals, fatty acids, and a vast variety of natural plant bio-actives. Hydrosols can be seen as micro-doses of essential oils, but unlike essential oils, they have no precautions, when applied to the skin. Some people recommend internal consumption of hydrosols, but we do not, because each hydrosol has different internal precautions, when used as drinking water. For example, if you are pregnant, or under health care, drinking hydrosols can be hazardous. However, topical applications are never hazardous. _____________________________ SHELF LIFE: Helichrysum Hydrosol has a shelf life of one year. Exact Expiry date will be printed on the bottle. ______________________________ SIZES: Feel free to message me with larger size requirements, and I will send you a quote.
