Another Season Over

Another season is over here, we've gotten everything put away for winter and turned off online ordering. Of course if you do want to order something for spring, you can email us and we'll be happy to start an invoice for you. Over the next 2 months we'll be ordering a few more plants and updating the website with them. As always, we do take requests and suggestions. Thanks for a great successful season!

Late Additions

We've added just a few plants to the store recently.

Carex appalachica is a nice petite sedge that likes dry shade. It would look great with Epimedium and Heuchera.

Heuchera 'Stainless Steel'  is making a return, it's a favorite of mine and you need it.

Kirengeshoma palmata is also making a return as we had special order for a large number of them. We've only got 5 extra to sell and expect they won't last long.

New Additions for the New Year!

Happy New Year! We just added a small number of new Hosta to the catalog. These are all very limited; if you'd like to reserve any of these plants, please email us with your contact and shipping info and we'll get them on an invoice for you.
Hosta 'Coconut Custard'
Hosta 'Cracker Crumbs'
Hosta 'Lemon Snap'
Hosta 'Sugar Plum'
Hosta 'Tom Terrific'
Hosta 'Twist Tie'

Every year we try to streamline our processes to make it more efficient, more affordable, or more convenient for us to do what we do and for our customers to shop with us. In the past, we've opened up our website for orders right around now. This invariably led to having to send out refunds when we had crop failures or there were shortages from our suppliers. This is always disappointing to everyone involved. This year we've got the website updated with what we expect to have in stock, but we have everything set to out of stock. We'll set everything to in stock with appropriate quantities in March when new plants arrive and we have a better idea of winter survival of last year's stock. If you absolutely can't wait and want to reserve something, you can! Simply email us or get a hold of us via Facebook and let us know what you want to order. We'll start an invoice for you, payable in late April or early May.
