Why Opt For Dormant Bare-Root Native Plants?
Advantages of Planting Bare-Root Plants
Ordering bare root plants is cost-effective and often provides a wider selection compared to potted plants. They are typically easier to handle and plant, with no heavy soil to manage. Bare root plants also establish quickly in their new location, often resulting in healthier, more robust growth.
Cost-Effective
Why buy soil and a container only to pay 10x more for shipping and to dispose of a heavy container when you can purchase bareroot from a fraction of the cost.
Easy DIY Planting
Bareroot plants are lightweight, and easy to plant. No need to hire a pro. landscaper or use heavy equipment.
Super Hardy
Dormant plants adapt easily to their new environment, often resulting in stronger, healthier growth and much better chances of survival (96-98%) than greened out plants with blooms on them.
Eco-Friendly
they are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, reducing the need for additional water, fertilizers, and pesticides. Native plants support local wildlife, providing essential food and habitat for birds, insects, and other creatures. Additionally, they help preserve biodiversity and maintain the ecological balance of the area.
Perennials
On Arrival Versus Spring
Bare root perennials will come without tops, greenery or blooms. In Spring, they will come up like other plants and be mature and blooming.
Ferns
On Arrival Versus Spring
Ferns are shipping in a dormant state, making them super hardy. In Spring they will be mature and full size.
Trees
On Arrival Versus Spring
The tree may look like a simple stick with roots, but this dormant state ensures safe transport and healthy growth once planted.
