CHAMAEDAPHNE CALYCULATA
$49.99
Little known but great looking and well adapted to wet areas, Leatherleaf is a low growing shrub that forms a dense, spreading thicket. Its thick, leathery evergreen foliage points upward while its tiny white flowers bloom below the upturned foliage along its branches from April to June and have a delicate refreshing scent. These nodding, bell shaped blooms are a larval food source for many butterflies especially the Coleophora Butterflies and the plant offers great cover and nesting for a myriad of native critters. Plant Leatherleaf in partial to full shade for best results…it’s one of the best least known plants you can get for your Rain Garden!

Understanding Plant Pot Sizes
When you’re choosing plants, you’ll often see sizes listed as #1, #2, or #3 containers. These numbers refer to the volume of the pot, not the age of the plant.
#1 Pot – Holds about 1 gallon of soil. These are small starter plants, great for tight spaces or filling in around larger features.
#2 Pot – Holds about 2 gallons of soil. A medium size that balances affordability with faster establishment in the landscape.
#3 Pot – Holds about 3 gallons of soil. These larger plants give more immediate impact and tend to establish quickly.
Bigger pots generally mean more mature root systems, but the right choice depends on your project goals, timeline, and budget.
