Plant Questions
There is more information about plants and gardening on our gardening resources page.
Where do your plants come from? WE GROW OUR OWN! Our annual plants are either started from seeds, cuttings or plugs that we purchase and nurture in our own greenhouse. Perennial plants are started from purchased plugs or bare root or they are started from cuttings or divided from our existing stock. Our native plant department grows most everything from seed in the spring. We attempt to keep our native plants of a local eco-type. Our bare root trees and shrubs are brought in from regionally close nurseries and whatever isn't sold from our bare root spring sale is potted up for next year's sales. We can also special order any trees or shrubs that we do not have in stock. These come from a local source.
Can you special order plants? We usually need advanced notice for any annual or perennial you would like requested, since we grow our own. We order our babies months before we get them growing in our greenhouses, so if you would like to see a certain plant next year tell us in the spring! We can usually get special trees and shrubs in within a few weeks of ordering.
What is your plant guarantee? Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee plant survivability over the winter, due to extremely fluctuating winter and spring weather conditions. However, with proven plant care, we will guarantee a plant through the growing season. If the plant does not survive, we will replace it with an equal or similar item. The plant must be brought in for proof.
What zone are we? We are zone 4a in USDA Hardiness. We carry zone 3 and 4 plants, to support our customer's success in our local climate, but we do offer a limited number of new plants whose cold hardiness in our area is uncertain. Also, we grow a number of "temperennials" – plants that are technically perennials, but not normally hardy here. Some of our customers have successfully over wintered plants like these, by utilizing various over-wintering strategies.
What does "Hanson's Hardy" mean? These are tried and true hardy perennial plants that we feel confident will winter over successfully. We have these plants flagged in our perennial houses with yellow "Hanson's Hardy" flags.
Do you identify insects or plant issues? We will try our best to help you figure out whatever is going on with your plant. Please bring in a sample for us to examine and we will work with you to solve the issues. Our local UW-Extension office also exists to help diagnose plant issues.
