Sizes and pricing

Native plants grow at incredibly different rates, and definitely much, much slower than the annual vegetable plants you may be more familiar with growing. Some plants, like our pasque flowers out in the nursery beds right now, are barely bigger than a quarter at the beginning of their second year. As a protection method, some seeds take multiple years to germinate (especially common amongst shade loving/forest plants) and all the while we’re monitoring, weeding and watering them. Others, like new england asters and some goldenrod species, grow fast and often flower profusely in their first season. Because of this huge range, our plants are priced according to how long we’ve cared for them, not on what size container they’re in like a lot of nurseries. In general - by the time our smaller plug pots are listed for sale, we’ve been looking after them daily for at least 6 months, everything in the quart pots are at least a year old and gallons at least 2 years old but sometimes, as is the case with most spring ephemerals, a plant in a quart pot will be 3+ years old.
