Spring 2011

It's spring once again and we begin our second full year in operation at Cedar Mountain Perennials.  Seed trays are germinating in the greenhouse, shrubs are beginning to bud out.   We will have some new additions to our selection this year along with many of the same plants we had last year.
Kinnikinnick was very popular last year so we will be offering more of this species this year.  Still be sure to purchase early as supplies are limited.  Another popular shrub last year was Syringa and we have more of those in stock this year as well.

We have many of the same perennials available.  We have made some changes based on what plants grew well for us and which did not.  We are also featuring some new plants this year.

One of the new species we are offering this year in limited quantities is Wild Ginger, Asarum caudatum.  This native ground cover prefers shade and is often found in moist cedar habitat types.  We've had a number of customers looking for shade loving plants so this should be a welcome addition to our offerings.

Another new feature for this year is our Newsletter, The Perennial Word.   This will be a monthly or bimonthly feature this year with feature articles, feature plants, a pest and disease column, announcements for future events and more.
