Fine Line® Buckthorn

A complete matching set is such a satisfying thing to achieve in the garden. Fine Line is pretty consistent in its form and texture as it matures, so your new addition should blend right in with the others over a season or two. Thanks for planting with us, Kimberly. The Nature Hills Team

Fine Line Buckthorn settles in well when given a little time to acclimate before planting, so it sounds like yours is off to a good start. Once it goes in the ground, keep the watering consistent through the first season and you should see it take off. Thanks for sharing, Virginia.

Hearing that the packaging stood out after ordering from multiple nurseries really means a lot to us. We put a lot of care into how Fine Line Buckthorn ships, since it can be a finicky traveler. We hope it settles in beautifully and fills out that distinctive feathery texture you see at maturity. Thanks for the kind words, Pamela.
