​

Before making your selection of our high quality plants, spend some time doing some planning and research before the purchase. Some factors need to be kept in mind when choosing the types of flowers you plan to grow.

 

What type of flower do you prefer?

• Annuals grow from seeds, bloom the current year, then die. 

• Perennials establish from seeds the first year but won’t produce flowers until the following year, however they will re-grow and bloom for years to come. Ex: daylilies, asparagus and hosta, hellebores (Lenten rose), rosemary, lambs ear, peonies, ferns, dianthus and foxglove.  Most perennials are non-woody. They have a season of dormancy, and a few are evergreen. They have a season of bloom, bloom length can vary from 2 weeks to 4 months

• Biennials grow as small plants in the first year they are planted, bloom in the second year and then die. 

Will your plants be in full sun, shade, or somewhere in-between? 

The rules of thumb we go by are these:

• Full Sun is 6 or more hours of direct sun a day

• Partial Sun or Partial Shade is 4 to 6 hours of direct sun a day

• Full Shade is less than 4 hours of direct sun a day

• Consider the angle of the sun, as well. Northern exposures become much shadier in the winter and southern exposures get much more sun in summer

​​Full sun plants like bright sunny areas. Many full sun plants will be perfectly happy with sun 14 hours a day, every day, however will need to stay hydrated. Check out the tags and find those that say "heat or drought tolerated." 

​

What is the difference in the terms "part shade" and "part sun?"

 

The two terms are fairly interchangeable. These plants prefer 4 to 6 hours of sun a day and would be happiest getting their sun mostly in the morning and/or evening with shade through the middle of the day. If a plant is called partial sun the emphasis is on making sure the plant gets at least 4 hours of sun a day. If a plant is called partial shade then greater emphasis is placed on the plant not getting more than 6 hours of direct sun.

​

You may also see the term Dappled Shade. Dappled shade refers to areas where there is a mixture of sun and shade, generally because a deciduous tree is nearby. Dappled shade is similar to partial shade. Plants in this category are often woodland plants and will do best with little full sun (even morning or evening sun). These plants thrive in sun that has been filtered by trees.
