RECOMMENDED PLANT LIST We will emphasize native and other drought-resistent perennials. We have found that divisions made in the fall give the best results for a well filled out, saleable plant in the time for the sale in April. We will be offering 4", 6" and gallon size containers. Here are some suggestions of plants that are easily divisable in the fall: Pacific Coast Iris (divide in Nov.-Dec.) Dianthus Eriogonum Stachys Gazania Tulbaghia (Society Garlic) Hellbores Ferns Heuchera Tiarella Hemerocallis (especially the newer cultivars) Thyme Oregano Artemisia Rosemary Convolvulus sabatius (ground morning glory) Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Dwrf plumbage) Carex Campanula Grasses Geraniums and Pelargoniums Euphorbias Salvia Succulents And many more. But if you have a good looking, saleable plant that doesn’t fit in our drought resistent category we’d love to have that too. Different strokes for different folks! We have many succulents including dish gardens. We also hope to offer a range of herbs.
