IMPORTANT NOTE on Plant Sizes & Blooms
PLANT SIZES:
Since our plants are field grown, we size and price our native plants on AGE and CARE they have received.
ROOKIES are young plants sown & grown this season usually $6 each unless a snail roll of 5/$25
FIRST YEARS are $8 these are one year old perennials native plants that have had a season of dormancy.2nd Year Plants are $15 and have have 2 seasons of dormancy. Both 1 year and 2 year plants have experienced overwintering followed by seasonal growth.
Why does this matter? Well we think a plant should measured by their experience & age not by the pot size. With plastic pots, plants are ‘bumped up’ into new and bigger pots within the same season. So a gallon pot could be just a 10 week old plant without the experience of dormancy and free root growth.
BLOOM TIMES: many native plants are perennials; based on age they may or may not bloom this year.
Hey I get it… It’s hard to be patient when you want to see pollinator action on your native plants like NOW!
But friends, plants need time to get roots set for surviving the heat of Summer and Winter’s cold. It’s ok to not have tons of blooms in the first year of planting.
Pollinators need the leaves of young native plants too and not just the flowers! Leaves provide them with shelter & food even before the plant blooms pretty flowers.
But don’t be surprised if you get blooms this year from the plants in your Native Blooms Box! These plants have already ‘slept’ through their first year and ready to bloom once established in your garden!
We reserve the right to adjust plant lists & pickup dates as needed in case of adjusting to Mother Nature’s whimsical temper!
You will be notified of any changes by email before picking up your order.
On day of pickup you can swap out any of the plants in the box for those of equal age. For example 1 rookie Sky Blue Aster for 1 Wild Bergamot rookie.
