Where & When to purchase?

On-line 

The plants that over-winter wake up naturally with the outdoor weather. They are not in a greenhouse. Therefore, the online inventory will be updated as the plants emerge in their pots, typically by mid-May.

Plants that tend to emerge later than this include Swamp Hibiscus (Hibiscus moscheutos), Showy Tick-trefoil (Desmodium canadense), New York Ironweed ( Vernonia noveboracensis), Butterfly Milkweed ( Asclepias tuberosa). These plants may not be fully emerged by June 1.

The first pick-up date at By The Bluffs will be Saturday, May 17, 2025.
