I cannot ship these first class, it takes too long. But I deducted my first class shipping and the priority mail costs reflect that. I cannot be more honorable— but with postage so high, 20% of everything incl shipping goes to eBay, not me—the time & care to raise these, care for them, painstakingly wrap & protect in shipping— I cannot be responsible for delayed first class mail. So If u buy with the first class option we reserve the right to completely cancel the order if u live in those states & choose 1st class. *******EXTRA CUTTINGS ALWAYS WITH PRIORITY MAIL UPGRADE—-I do try to always add extra to anyone who chooses priority mail even tho I get nothing additional to me— postage goes to USPO not me but your cuttings arrive faster & if pots ready you will do so much better!! ****** 12 FRESH very substantial cuttings. 6-8” long, at least 1/4 INCH thick!

No pot, no soil, no roots, just fresh cuttings. The cuttings in the picture are representative of EXACTLY what you honorably will receive. I cut from my 6 mother plants. These are “Bare root” that were vigorously growing the day they were cut. They will be triple washed, soaked for several hours, then the bottom 1/2s wrapped in soaking wet paper towel then plastic to keep them viable Until they arrive so it may be soggy but that’s how best to keep them viable in shipping. They WILL wilt when you first pot them up. But within a week, kept moist, they’ll pop back like magic! PLEASE HAVE SUPER WET GOOD UNUSED BEGORE POTTING MUX IN POTS when cuttings arrive. The faster u get them right in very wet soil the better the take rate! Keep out of hot direct sun (bright shade best), keep moist and start in a warm place— not cold garage! These really want to grow and have great take rate the sooner they hit soil. If you have rooting hormone, roll bottom 1/2 of cutting in that before inserting in soil! Tall plants in pictures are my mother plants. Bouquet is what I have on my tables near year round from them. I love this plant! It is an unusual perennial that gets great green foliage and bright yellow sunflower-like flowers on top of stems to 15 feet tall or more. They are butterfly, bee and pollinator magnets!!

I have mine in crazy hot humid south Fla in part sun- They make an excellent addition to your rare plant collection, a back of border stunner, an against the house focal point or just make a unique statement anywhere in your yard. They are stately and the flower is in my opinion incredible! An amazing cut flower, I have brought bouquets to friends and neighbors who can’t believe these gorgeous big, happy blooms!

Make sure the soil or sand is compacted around the cutting so that the nodes contact the soil/sand with no airpockets.Put some water in the hole before inserting the cutting to make compacting the cutting easier and this will jump start process.

Excellent useful flowering permaculture plant. —PERMACULTURE: This plant can be used to replenish soil that has been depleted of all of its nutrients. It is a good choice to replace expensive fertilizers. Just chop and drop where soil is needy. I have converted dry sandy, parched dirt into earthworm rich, black gold using the cuttings and leaves of regular trimmings from this plant. Called Organic “green manure” nutrient accumulator, thus used as a fertilizer, claimed to work almost a well as chemical fertilizers. Due to its ability to uptake elements, can be used to “mop up” or absorb metals from soils. Save and plant cuttings in pots to overwinter. Do not keep soil damp in ground as this can lead to rot.
