Find the forest, go in deep, deeper until you are truly alone. Sit, lay, be part of the forest floor. Close your eyes. Be still, be quiet, listen with your whole self, see with every sense. Breathe deeply, inhale the earth, taste it, swallow it. Feel the secret life happening beneath you, beside you, above you. Open your eyes. There, is all of life.  (shinrin-yoku) LKK

We want you to have the best results possible so, as with all our plant offerings, we provide the cultural requirements of each species in the information portion for that species, allowing you to select the correct plants for your project.

Native Bare root perennials & wildflowers are at least 1- 2 years old and #1 grade size.

Selecting native bare root perennials & wildflowers offers advantages over container grown they are normally much less expensive than container-grown. They are easier to inspect for damage or disease. They weigh less when for shipping and handling. Bare root perennials & wildflowers allows easier transport to planting sites. This also means less waste in terms of container debris.

Mid Atlantic Natives Grows our bare root plants in raised beds in the appropriate environmental conditions, the right soil, moisture and light conditions suited for that species.

Once dormant, the plants are ready to lift. We dig to order. We do not dig everything and store plants for months. For each weeks orders, the plants are lifted from the beds from the bottom, meaning the roots come up entirely. The plants are then cleaned, inspected, sorted prepped and packaged properly for shipment.

Upon arrival, it is important to open and inspect the roots immediately, they may need to be misted. It is important to plant them as soon as possible, but if you can not, store them in the packaging they arrived in, in a cool dark dry place (up to two weeks checking them often), such as a cold shed, garage or refrigerator until ready for planting.

Bare root plants can be installed any time the soil is not frozen. If you can work the soil, you can plant!

Please plant them according to the species specific cultural conditions (found in each species information section).
