This
year we have interesting and
popular herbs. Herbs continue to hold the attention
of plant buyers year after year and many of our new
herbs will add color and fragrance to your
customer’s garden, also, many have medicinal
properties. We believe the varieties offered this
year will make your sales area popular with your
customers and add welcome profit to your operation.
These plants are large, healthy and ready for sale.
All plants will feature a label for ease in
identification and come in a deep 4” square pot
packed in a display flat (18 pots) that keep the
plants organized, upright and easy to move. We are
growing our herbs in soil designed to promote the
healthiest plants possible.
The 1206 (72 cell) flats are 12 packs of 6
plants in a full size 1020 flat. Useful for direct
sale to customers in 6 packs or for moving up to
larger pots or mixed containers. Herbs in 1206 flats
will be gladly grown as a special order placed
6-8 WEEKS in advance of the date that you need them.
This year we will, again, be preparing periodic
availability lists. If you wish to receive this list
