How is it possible that I have gone since March without posting anything? I see other growers writing just about every day. I'm simply too busy. It has slowed down now and I find myself with a surplus of perennials in quart pots. They have all been overwintered and will bloom this year, but it is next year that they will really show their stuff.
You know the saying about perennials? "First year they sleep, second year they creep, third year they leap." They are creeping now, getting ready to leap. And they are all on sale for $2.50 each!
I have plenty of one of my favorites - sidalcea. This is often called a miniature hollyhock. I started them from seed last year and here's a photo from the seed company.
I use them a lot in bouquets. We also have echinacea 'magnus' (coneflower), delphiniums, perennial sweet peas, Nora Barlow aquilegia (columbine) and loads more. Here's a photo of our creeping phlox for sale.
And the Jacob's Ladder on sale is particularly robust. The pretty foliage is some of the first you see in the spring.
We are open every day EXCEPT for Monday, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m.
