Potted Plants

Hairy Beardtongue is easily distinguished from other beardtongues by the distinctive hair fuzz covering its stems, and it blooms ahead of its counterparts. Adapts to different soil moistures and sunlight and attracts a myriad of pollinators, including hummingbirds. The charming purple flowers showcase a yellow center with the lower petal having a bit of fuzziness.

Size options:

-50 cell tray (each cell is 5” deep x 2.25” wide)

-Pot (each pot is 2.5” x 3.5”)

Thank Goodness For Heartiness

I’m very glad that the plants that I purchased are hearty and are doing well. The only unfortunate thing about the entire transaction is that for some unknown reason, UPS decided to keep the plants on their truck for over 36 hours before delivering them. I received the first notice saying that they were “out for delivery” and then that was followed by a message saying that the shipment had been “delayed”. By the time that they arrived, they were starting to look a little worse for wear, but I have hopefully nursed them back to health and they will be okay. (Fingers crossed)
