Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Bit of Honey is a variegated false sunflower with striking leaves that look white laced with deep green veins. On top of that foliage it carries golden yellow, semi-double flowers 3 to 3½ inches wide from midsummer into early fall.

It stays lower and denser than most false sunflowers, making it useful in the middle of a border or as a stand-alone accent. The flowers draw butterflies and bees and make good cut stems.

What it looks like

Semi-double daisy flowers 3 to 3½ inches across with several rows of golden yellow petals around a raised golden cone. Flowers are held on branched stems above the foliage. Leaves are triangular to oval with toothed edges, creamy white with a network of deep green veins, giving a marbled look. The plant is a low, dense, bushy mound 24 to 28 inches tall and 26 to 30 inches wide. At peak bloom golden flowers dot the top of a bright white-and-green mound.

Growing it with lavender

Its golden flowers contrast with purple lavender, and the white-veined leaves pick up lavender's silvery tones in the same sunny bed.

Care

Grow in full sun to light part shade in average, well-drained soil; it tolerates dry spells once established. Hardy in zones 4 to 9. Deadhead to keep flowers coming, and cut back any shoots that revert to plain green.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Arrives as a clump of fibrous roots with a crown of small reddish or green buds and old cut stems. Soak 20–30 minutes, plant crown at soil level, water in and keep moist until shoots appear.

Expect new growth in 6 to 8 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Shoots appear in mid-spring, often with dark, reddish new leaves on variegated or dark-leaf types. Growth is quick once soil warms.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.
