Here is my plant listing for 2022. It's not a complete list- I have a number of plants in too short of a supply to list them. If you are looking for a particular plant, ask me, as I might have it. All of my perennials are in 1 gallon nursery pots and I sell them all for $6 which includes state sales tax. # means a new plant for me. These are ones that I grew from seed or purchased as live plants this year or last. I'm taking the word of different sources that these new plants are hardy for zone 5- sometimes these sources are not completely truthful.
I am opening April 28 this year, to the public, and May 2 for landscapers. My open hours will be DAYLIGHT until I am sold out!
