A: Yes, we are happy to place a special order for you. We
can order any plant that is available in the wholesale nursery
in any quantity. Orders for a full flat (16) of one variety
receive 10% off. In addition, we have some other sources for
plants available to us. Please ask. Most orders can be filled
within 1 week of ordering.

Q:
What does drought tolerant mean?
A: Plants that are drought tolerant require less water than
the average garden plant. All newly planted material needs
to be watered until it is established hence fall planting.
All drought tolerant plants need some amount of water during
the season to look their best. A thick layer of mulch is also
beneficial for holding moisture in the soil. “Drought
tolerant” rarely means “no water”.

Q:
I don’t see the plant that I am looking for in your
catalog.
A: We always suggest that you inquire about plants that you
do not see in our catalog. There are a few plants that we
do in limited supply and we do not list these in our catalog.
There are also new items that we get in during the year and
these do not show in our catalog because they come in after
it is updated. Remember, it doesn’t hurt to ask and
we don’t mind checking.

Q:
I wanted five 1-gallons and you only have 4”, so how
many pots should I get?
A: We get this question A LOT and the answer is five. If
you want 1-gallons and you are subbing 4” pots, use
the same amount of plants. A 1-gallon and a 4” pot of
the same plant will grow the same when in the garden. It is
not a dwarf or smaller because it is in a 4” pot. So,
prevent over planting and overcrowding and use the same amount
of plants. Generally with many of the perennials, you cannot
tell what was a 1-gallon plant and what was a 4” plant
after six weeks of growth in the garden. Four-inch plants
are easier to plant (smaller holes to dig!) and they save
you money because they are cheaper.
*Remember, wider spacing means that the individual plants
will be of better shape because then they develop unhampered
and they are easier to prune.

Q:
What is Blooms of Bressingham?
A: Blooms of Bressingham began in England. Father and son,
Alan and Adrian Bloom are world renowned for their gardens
and innovation in the perennial world. Alan Bloom founded
the Blooms of Bressingham Nursery in England and together
they have found and introduced superior varieties of perennials
for the world to enjoy.
Blooms of Bressingham North America (BOBNA) was formed with
partnerships to offer “a perpetual supply of distinctive
perennials.” BOBNA has tests sites and works with propagators,
growers and retailers to introduce new varieties and make
them available to North America. When you see the trade name
of Blooms of Bressingham, you will be assured of quality and
dedication to tested, tried and true plants. We are happy
to be carrying this line of plants and I am sure you will
find a favorite or two among the bunch.
