Summer Snow California Fuchsia does the unexpected thing: clean white trumpets instead of the usual scarlet, carried just above a low mat of green to gray-green leaves. Epilobium canum 'Summer Snow' comes into flower in late summer and keeps going through autumn, which is exactly when a dry garden needs it. It arrives as a live 4-inch plant.

Rhizomatous stems run quietly outward, so it covers dry ground that defeats other plants: a baking slope, a rock garden, the gravel apron along a driveway, the front edge of a native border. Deer leave it alone. Hummingbirds do not, because those narrow tubes are built for them.

Grower's note: Shear the woody stems back hard in winter once flowering has finished. It looks brutal and it is exactly right, and the mat returns denser and fresher for it.

Healthy on arrival is the deal here, and if it is not, we replace it free.

We use expedited shipping policies to protect plant health and minimize plant stress in transit.  All plants are in transit for only 1-3 days. (This does not guarantee 3-day delivery as orders are not always packed and sent out on the day of your order.) We send out deliveries on a weekly schedule to ensure quick transit times, so your order may not be packaged and shipped until later in the week. For instance, we may hold shipments to avoid weekend delays that keep plants in transit for longer.

All packaging includes eco-friendly material and our shipping methods are tested regularly to ensure plants arrive healthy upon arrival.

Additionally, any delays or damages in shipping are covered by our Healthy Plant Guarantee.

If you're plants arrived damaged, we will happily replace them for free!

Please contact us, send a picture, and detail any damage, so that we can continue to improve our shipping process and make sure you receive the healthy plants you paid for.
