economical way to plant a large area.

New Web Pages
New web page just added

marking which month they bloom as well as the color of the flower. We think this

throughout the blooming season.
Also just
added this page:
Complete Wildflower List On
One Page With Links
Visit
this page if you already know the name of the plant you are looking for and it
will have a link you can click on and it will take you directly to that page.
Great time saver so you do not have to browse through all of the web pages. We
still have a few more links to add, hopefully will be finished soon.
Weather update
Finally our weather is starting to cool down. We
are now having nighttime lows in the low 50's to upper 40's with daytime highs
in the 70's, great weather.
Fall Shipping
Our Fall shipping also has begun. We are now
starting to ship most of our bareroot plants as well as our potted plants. As
you browse our website under each plant description it will give you the
availability of each plant. Fall is a great time to plant, buy planting now,
even know the plants are dormant and have no tops, they will put on new root
growth and by Spring will be ready to thrive in your landscape. Also by ordering
in the fall our supply is at its peak for most plants. For those of you who have
not ordered our bareroot plants before and are wondering what you will be
getting let us explain. Most of our bareroot plants root systems are larger than
the ones you would get when you order a Quart Pot, they are more like a gallon
size root systems and in many cases even larger. So it is like getting a large
Gallon plant but at a greatly reduced price. Of courser their are some that are
very small even at mature size, such as Erythronium, Dicentra's, Delphinium,
Claytonia's, just to name a few. All bareroot plants come a plastic bag with a
slightly moist mix of peat moss and composted pine bark so they will arrive
fresh, you can also use this to mix in your soil when you plant them. And each
bag is labeled with plant description and planting depth to help you when you
are out planting them. So get your order in today and select your ship date and
we will reserve your plants.

regular mail so you should be getting yours soon. If not email us at

Plant Spotlight
 
Liatris scariosa - Blazing Star
A beautiful summer bloomer that has vibrant purple flowers that
reach heights of 3-4 feet, and are a great cut flower. has light green foliage
that is attractive throughout the growing season. Likes full sun and can
tolerate dry to average soils. As with all of the Liatris' it is guaranteed to
attract the butterflies. After a few years it makes a nice clump to put on a
great show in the landscape and it is very easy to grow.
