Perennials Sale

As the summer comes to a close, and we begin the return to cooler temps, shorter days and and colorful changes that fall brings, we realize some plants are more sleepy than others...so...            We're having a 'Sleeping beauty' sale.  Spring bloomers, trees and shrubs will be so much more vigorous and floriferous in the spring if you plant in the Fall.    Why you ask?  They are dormant.  Strong root development can take place over the winter, resulting in less spring maintenance/watering, and stronger healthier plants.            The same things apply to Fall planting...     The success of healthy, well developed plants is                                IN THE SOIL.  Amend soil with manure/homemade compost and organic fertilizers break the roots up-this is very important soak the rootball- up to an hour if necessary pour at least a gallon or more of water into the planting hole,  backfill and water again...                            Sleeping Beauties SALE  50%off sleeping/resting plants Sept 22nd-30th  Perennials on sale  Daylilies  Dahlia's  Foxtail lilies  Hardy Geraniums  Columbine  Geum  Hellebores  Lady's mantle  Iris  Hosta's-going to sleep soon (excludes Guacamole)  Taro  Lilies  Shasta daisies   Carnation  Monarda  Daffodils  Tulips  Uvularia  Filipendula  Yarrow  Alliums  Veronica  Eryngium  Penstemon   Bowles golden grass  Scented geraniuims-houseplant or outside in summer  Devil's club- a NW native Impatiens- noli-tangere, NW native  and more...

Hellebores, winter's lovely gift

I love Hellebores. I just love them!
I love the dark thick foliage that reminds me of a giant hand spread out, ready to point you in the direction of the hosta's and Trillium that are sleeping alongside somewhere, under the leaf littered loamy soil.











The flowers that emerge in January are tightly curled and look like small roses, with a giant star setting off the flower bud.
The colors range from cool lime greens to, dark, moody aubergines that fade to dusky antique shades, and everything in between.
