About Our Plants

Home of the NO SMALL PLANTS!
We are a bona fide nursery — we grow our plants right here, not just pull them from trays and sell liners. Our plants are grown on to a larger size, often to near-mature form, so you receive a strong, well-developed plant ready to thrive in your garden.

• Plants are grown in 5.25 x 5.25 x 5.25 inch pots and develop large, healthy root systems.
• These are not small liners, but garden-ready plants that establish quickly.
• We guarantee a true-to-type, healthy plant that you’ll enjoy for years.
• In early spring, plants may be breaking dormancy and appear smaller; in fall or winter, they may be dormant and leafless — this is completely normal.
