Part shade means filtered shade, where branches have been limbed high, so that plenty of light still reaches the plants. We have indicated the botanical origin of each plant that we offer. Many folks are looking for plants from particular regions of the world, while many others are looking for US natives. If a selection or hybrid is offered from a region other than where the plant was native, we have opted to include that information in the description. Please use this information to help determine your target ship date.
Plant names are actually quite simple.
In some cases, the cultivar is not a selection of a single species, but a hybrid of two or more species. In this case, the genus name is followed immediately by the 'Cultivar'. Another exception to the third name being the cultivar name is when a species of plant has several naturally occurring distinct forms. These are referred to as varieties, subspecies, or forms. In this case, the plant will have two lower case names after the genus.
