A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
