Description: 20+ Desert Sweet, Fern Bush Seeds, C. millefolium - Native Hedge Shrub, MedicinalGrow Zones: 4,5,6,7,8,9 Other Names: Desert Sweet, Fernbush, Chamaebatiaria millefolium Fernbush, also known as desert sweet, is a fragrant, medicinal, deer-resistant hedging shrub that attracts both birds and butterflies to your landscape. It looks great in rows along fence lines and shows well standalone in borders. The fragrantly sweet five-petaled white flowers (that bloom July-Sept.) provide a sticky sweet nectar for the butterflies and birds. Desert Sweet is found growing natively in the great basin area, although it grows well in any area with low-level watering and all areas zoned 4-9 in the USA. The width and height tops out at 3-5 ft, equally proportioned. What a lot of people like about C. millefolium is that you don't have to prune to shape these bush hedges, they naturally grow the size and shape that we look for in a hedging bush. Desert Sweet Uses:Fern bush is often used as a hedge shrub in full sun. Useful features include crinkled leather-like leaves that are brewed as a medicinal tea that comes with naturally sweet flavoring. How to Care for C. millefolium Desert Sweet FernbushWhile it is naturally a low maintenance bush, desert sweet simply requires at least 6 hours of sun per day. Germination Procedure: Cold/moist stratify the seeds in the freezer for 1 month before planting. Surface sow the seeds halfway covered in moist soil, as they do require sunlight to sprout. Expect germination to occur within 1 month after stratification and proper sowing methods covered above have been administered. ***Priority mail and tracking option: To upgrade your order to Priority mail, simply add your item(s) to the cart and find the item I have available for a Priority Mail Upgrade...add it to your cart along with your item(s) by selecting to Buy It Now and pay for it and your other items in 1 cart transaction.
