We update our inventory on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see everything as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring offerings will generally have more herbaceous perennials, grasses, etc and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find what you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Mint Root / Crosnes / Chinese Artichoke
Mint Root / Crosnes / Chinese Artichoke
Stachys Affinis
Mint Root, Crosnes or Chinese Artichoke... Looks like a mint, although doesn't have a strong smell at all. Resistant to browse like mint, but unique to this plant is tons of little white tubers formed underground you can enjoy fall through spring. Dig them as you want them. Shade tolerant, easy to grow, spreading but not in a scary way. This is a fun plant to have and learn about! Great potential for taller running ground cover for orchard contexts or under berry patches. Simple push the mulch aside in the fall and winter to reveal the beautiful, strange little crunchy snacks!
Size:
2' when in full flower, generally almost a ground cover
Site Preference:
Seems tolerant of partial shade
Hardiness:
Zone 4
Your purchase will get you at least one but most probably a few, rooted tubers ready to plant out and get established. We include stringy roots as well to give you a lot to work with.
We are now offering a 'pack' for $20 which will give you enough roots (at least 5) to plant a solid little starter patch of plants.
