We carefully consider which perennials to offer you. Ideally, we hope to carry long flowering perennials that offer color, are native to our area, drought tolerant, resistant to deer and are beneficial to insects, butterflies and bees. Just be sure to match the light requirements for each plant to the location.
Light levels are defined the same for all plants. As a general guideline:
Full Sun = Direct, unfiltered sunlight for at least 6 hours per day. Many plants that are considered Partial Sun can take Full Sun during the morning hours as long as they are protected from direct afternoon sun.
Partial Sun = 4-6 hours of direct sun per day, including some afternoon sun.
Partial Shade = 4-6 hours of direct sun per day, mostly before midday
Full Shade = Less than 4 hours of direct sun per day
We grow many of our perennials from seed and germination rates vary and are very difficult to predict. Subsequently, inventory is subject to availability. However, these are the perennials we are planning to offer for sale this year:
