Greetings!
Color has arrived and we are hoping spring will too. Don't let this rain stop you from planting; bareroot is ending soon and this is the perfect week to take advantage of all the benefits.
Come see the new 'Gold Tide' Forsythias here at last. These are a compact, heavy bloom plant that are ideal for small landscapes. |
Last Week for Bareroot!!!
Top 3 Reasons to Plant Bareroot
1. Because the plants are dormant they are less likely to show signs of transplant shock during bareroot season. The ground is still moist and cool and the percentage of success during this time of year is much higher. Download our handout for detailed instructions.
2. Selection is best at this time of year. Many varieties are only available in bareroot form.
3. Price is always lower with bareroot plants. There is no pot, soil, or labor which result in big savings.
Hurry, bareroot ends March 20th
We recommend Gardner and Bloome Soil Building Compost and Starter Fertilizer.
