A WORD ABOUT OUR PERENNIALS

Most perennials need to be 2 years old before they will bloom. All of our 1 gallon plants are at least 2 years old and will bloom for you this year. They’ve already over-wintered outside, so they are proven hardy in our area (zone 6 or to -10 degrees).

4" STARTER PERENNIALS

For our customers that like to start small and nurture, we offer a smaller size starter perennial in a 4" pot. We suggest to our customers that perennials should be grouped in 3’s & 5’s for impact in the garden. Because these 4" plants are more economical, it may be advantageous to use this size. Keep in mind that some of these may not bloom until next year. 1.69 ea. Or 8/$12.00.
