ABOUT OUR PLANTS: We are growing and shipping as many plants as possible in 2 ¼” wide by 3 ½” deep rose pots. Some plants, including most shrubs, will continue to be shipped out of their pots and with some planting mix removed. We hope this method results in a better product for you. Our plants are grown without any artificial heat either in open ended hoop houses or in the open on ground cloth. This allows us to produce hardy plants that are much more closely in character than alpine plants grown in heated greenhouses. We welcome your comments and suggestions. HOW TO ORDER OUR PLANTS: To order our plants, click on the order form link and print a copy of the order form.
