Allium ‘Millenium’<br />
Why are Bare Root<br />
Amsonia better?<br />
Walters Gardens, Inc. is one of<br />
few, if not the only, wholesale<br />
growers in the US who offers<br />
Amsonia in bare root form.<br />
Though we’ve tried growing it<br />
in plugs in the past, we’ve been<br />
astounded by the difference in<br />
quality since switching to bare<br />
root production.<br />
Allium senescens<br />
‘Blue Eddy’<br />
Alstroemeria INCA ICE (‘Koice’)<br />
The number of eyes on a #1<br />
grade bare root Amsonia ranges<br />
from 5-8 compared to just 1 or 2<br />
in plug form. They finish beautifully<br />
in a 2-qt or 1-gal container,<br />
forming a full and bushy plant.<br />
Now that’s value!<br />
Our #1 Grade bare root<br />
Amsonia averages 5-8 eyes each.<br />
Finished plants from bare root have 5-8<br />
strong stems each and lush foliage that<br />
fills out the pot nicely.<br />
