At Blake Nursery our passion for
plants is manifested in a vast selection of beautiful perennials.
In the listing below we attempt to provide most of what's available,
but it's far from complete. Sizes are usually from 4" to 2
gallons. Blake Nursery coupons apply and provide big savings - up
to five free plants!
One
of the brightest spots in the Montana gardening picture is perennials.
We may be limited in our selection of trees and shrubs compared
to some parts of the country, but with perennials - thank goodness
- it's a different story. We're continually adding to our list
of happy campers in our inventory, and at this point the list
is extensive - about 300 and growing.
In our opinion the key to a
successful perennial garden is providing plants with the conditions
they prefer. Certain perennials crave deep, rich soil, while
others are happy with just about anything - the real troopers.
Some require shade and other full sun, some constant moisture,
and others dry conditions. Lamium, for example, likes moist
feet while Artemisia 'Silver Mound' would virtually curl up
its toes if kept in a similar state of saturation.
Planning a perennial garden is a lot of fun!
It's a wonderful opportunity to stretch your imagination by experimenting
with color and form, and by plotting seasonal bloom time. One
of the most pleasing aspects about perennial gardening is that
it's very forgiving - this year's mistakes can easily be corrected
next year by a straight forward maneuver with the trowel.
So if you haven't already discovered the joy
of perennial gardening in Montana, we'd say it's never too late,
and just be sure not to miss out on one of life's most delightful
pleasures. |
