Bare Root Perennial Plants
|
|
Most of our perennial plants are seed grown and
started in either plug flats or sown in drills(as
pictured on right). Our bare root plants are
transplanted into plug trays before setting out into
larger pots, or growing beds.

Our bare root perennial plants are shipped as one
or two year old root systems(dependent on
species). The plants growing in large pots are
normally freshly dug. Where as, the plants thriving
in growing beds are dug in late fall, when dormant,
are packed in moist sawdust, and stored at 34
degrees.

Lastly, the plants are secured within the shipping
box with recycled peanuts(picture on right). These
peanuts are 100% recycled material and are
waterproof. Peanuts fill the void in between
objects constricting the amount of movement
within the box, allowing the plants to be in prime
condition upon arrival.
In a 6' upside down drop the peanuts kept the
plants in the exact same position and condition, as
they were originally packed. While, mail carriers
are not that harsh on packages, we decided to go the
extra mile to insure plants are in top condition upon
arrival.
