Nursery contributed plant descriptions
When I bring a freshly plucked sprig to my nose, I think immediately of bayberry and sweet fern warmed by the summer sun. The exceptionally fragrant, light green leaves are shaped like tiny oak leaves and are sticky with essential oils. They make excellent wreath bases and filler for fresh bouquets. Featured in the end papers of Alice Morse Earle's Old Time Gardens, 1901. Self sows abundantly.
