Landscape Plugs™
Our best low maintenance native perennials and grasses are available in flats of plugs designed to be planted directly in the ground. We offer a wide selection of Eastern US natives and their cultivars selected for beauty and durability. Two sizes are available for direct planting: deep plugs are 5 inches deep by 2-1/4 inches in diameter and come 38 to a standard nursery tray. Many shallow-rooted plants are available in flats of 32 (2-1/4 x 3") and are also suited to planting in the ground. Our Landscape Plugs offer an exiting alternative for quick establishment of plants in landscapes and containers.
Plant Selection
We are very selective in our choices for the Landscape Plugs program so that your planting gets off to a great start. All plants in our plug program are native to the midatlantic states, and are well suited to this climate and tolerant of drought and extreme temperature fluxuations. Robust root systems make for quick establishment and less initial watering. Plants purchased in spring are vernalized and ready to grow.
