Migrating butterfly on Black Knight buddleia.

Jethro Tull coreopsis year 2 here in NEMO, flanked by gladiolus 'sword lily'.

Root Shrubs is me... and it's also me and my family of four who rarely all have pants on at once.
So here we parent the human babies, not the plants. These cultivars that stick with me are the survivor ones that come back bigger when they get stepped on. We grow flowers that are for the people, the pollinators, and the places we live. These are the hand-me-down pass-along plants, that want to live with you and thrive and make more of themselves! The seeds for sale are the ones that are easy and abundant, direct sow and stuffed full so you can toss them around with abandon.

From me, you can buy quality rooted shrubs and perennials in friendly, forgiving 2-quart sizes.
When you see one of our plant sale ads, it's got a bunch of everything: trees, new perennials, old fashioned staples like forsythia, lilac, willow, peony, iris, daylily, hydrangea, rose, dahlia; conservationist favorites like buttonbush, sumac, witch hazel, sweetshrub, magnolia, bald cypress, oaks; plenty of raspberries, blueberries, aronia, beautyberry, coralberry, golden currant, grapevines, thornless blackberry, persimmon, hazelnut, and serviceberry in support of edible landscaping.

I'm always into something new, and when I have plants ready to sell locally or by mail, I send out an email to local landscapers and nurseries and those who'd like to get my spreadsheet of what's ready.

Can meet up at the Cheese Post in Downing or J's Foods in Memphis, MO.
