About Pineleaf

Reddish orange 1" tubular flowers with leaves that resemble soft pine needles. It does look like a dwarf conifer in spring and fall, and is actually a small shrub, so leave 4–5" of the woody stems if you prune it. Late spring to mid-summer. At North Star Nursery in Faribault, call 507-334-6288 for directions and hours.
