We're very excited about the 2010 gardening season! We’ve searched for the best plants, new and old, for your hummingbirds and butterflies. For spring 2010 we’ve added about 80 new plants to our line-up, plants that are sure to please the hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and caterpillars in your garden.
At Sweet Nectar Nursery we cater to the pollinators in your garden, so we're really careful not to use any harsh sprays or chemicals on our plants or in our potting mix. We don't use the growth hormones that many bigger nurseries use to control the growth of plants. We grow our plants as naturally as we can.
We start spring shipping in March to the warmer parts of the country and continue to the colder regions as they warm up. We know that sometimes its hard to wait, but we don't want plants perishing in too cold soils. So we wait until the proper planting time for your region before mailing the plants.
Our plants are all grown in 3 1/2 to 4 inch pots. Most are in pots measuring 3.5 inches across and 4 inches deep. The hardier plants are in 4 inch square pots. A few varieties are in 3 1/2 inch square pots. These plants have good root systems and are ready to thrive in your garden.
Here are a few of our favorite new plants:
Long-blooming stems of gorgeous, heart-shaped, deep red flowers arch above delicate, blue gray, fern-like foliage. A beautiful addition to the woodland or shade garden. Nice container plant for a shady spot.
Show all Dicentras/Bleeding Hearts
Sizzling red-orange blossoms with a fully double pompom cone! Easy to grow in full sun. Sturdy, well-branched plants. Deadhead to expand the bloom period, but be sure to leave some seed-heads for the birds to feast on.
Show all Echinaceas/Coneflowers
This is a lovely plant for hanging baskets but also looks great when allowed to sprawl on the ground in the flower bed. Hummingbirds love the flowers.
Abutilon ‘Nabab’/Red Flowering Maple
This is a dramatic plant with it large wine-red blooms and dark green leaves.
