Ornamental grasses are a great addition to the perennial garden-they
add height, texture and winter interest to the landscape. Some may
not be ready for sale until late June (they need warm weather to
grow well!)
A few more things: in order to comply with legal requirements, we’ve changed
our container size descriptions. The old 1 gallon pot is a #1, 2 gallon is a
#2, etc. See our Pot Size Table for exact pot
capacities.
Also, because we sell larger, more mature plants, WE
ARE UNABLE TO SHIP PLANTS, so please come visit us our farm!
