Plant Return Policy & Shipping Details +
Some of the plants you'll find here reach beyond what we grow and keep on hand at the garden center — they ship straight to your door from a network of growers we trust. Because these items never come through Pandy's Garden Center, they can't be picked up, returned, or exchanged in store, and all online plant orders are final sale.
If your order shows up damaged, send us photos of the plant and the packaging within 48 hours of delivery. Once we've had a look, we'll arrange a replacement wherever possible.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Orders leave from a separate facility and may arrive on their own schedule
- Online plant purchases don't carry any warranty or guarantee
- How a plant does once it's home depends on the care and conditions you give it
- Prices online may differ from what you'll find in store

Description
The Sourwood, or Oxydendrum arboreum, is a captivating tree that brings dynamic beauty to home gardens throughout the year. Originating from the eastern United States, this tree thrives in well-drained, acidic soils and prefers a sunny spot, though it can tolerate partial shade. Growing to a mature height of 20 to 30 feet, the Sourwood features a slender, pyramidal form adorned with glossy, dark green leaves that transform into a stunning display of red and purple in the autumn. In midsummer, it showcases delicate, creamy white flowers that not only beautify your garden but also attract beneficial pollinators, supporting local biodiversity. The tree's ability to withstand common pests and diseases, along with its minimal watering and maintenance needs, makes it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking low-maintenance beauty. Beyond its ornamental charm, the Sourwood is known for producing highly sought-after honey, offering a unique culinary delight for those interested in beekeeping. Whether you're looking to enhance your garden's aesthetic or explore the joys of honey production, the Sourwood tree is a versatile and rewarding addition to any home landscape.Will this grow in my area?
