In beds like the one you see above I stick my cuttings about one cutting per square inch. I really put them as close together as 3/4″ of an inch, but the rows are about 1-1/2″ apart. That’s about one cutting per square inch. That’s 144 cuttings in a square foot. If you sell those… Click here to read more…

Mike's Big Perennial Bed.

At The Nursery I have this big bed that is really just a big pile of sand and gravel that I dug out to make a container area.

Blue Angel Hosta.

‘Blue Angel’hosta is by far one of my favorite blue hostas. A big hosta like this in a perennial bed covers a lot of area and that keeps a ton of weeds at bay! These giant heart shaped leaves are very slug resistant. We have this plant in full sun. With just a bit of… Click here to read more…

Big Daddy Hosta.

‘Big Daddy’ hosta is one of my favorite big hostas, mostly because it’s big, it’s blue and it has very interested leaves that are a bit dimpled. Big Daddy hosta gets about 24″ tall and 36″ wide. It’s hardy in zones 3 through 9, the flowers are blends of white with a tinge of color,… Click here to read more…
