Why Opt For Dormant Bare-Root Native Plants?

Advantages of Planting Bare-Root Plants

Ordering bare root plants is a cost-effective option that often offers a greater variety than potted plants. They're lighter and easier to handle since there's no heavy soil to deal with. Bare root plants also tend to establish themselves more quickly in their new environment, leading to more robust and healthier growth.

More About What We Ship

Cost-Effective

Why pay extra for soil and a container only to spend significantly more on shipping and deal with a bulky pot? With bare-root plants, you can save money and avoid the hassle.

Easy DIY Planting

Bare root plants are lightweight and straightforward to plant, so there's no need to hire a professional landscaper or use heavy machinery.

Super Hardy

Dormant plants typically adjust more readily to their new surroundings, leading to healthier, more robust growth and a higher survival rate (96-98%) than plants already growing or blooming.

Eco-Friendly

Native plants are well-suited to local conditions, needing less water, fertilizer, and pesticides. They support wildlife by offering crucial food resources and shelter. Additionally, native plants are critical in preserving biodiversity and maintaining the area's ecological balance.
