Growing and Maintenance Tips
Dictamnus is an easy care low maintenance perennial once established, but it takes patience to get it going. Plant it in rich, moist soil in a spot where it can be left undisturbed. It resents being moved except when it is very young. The sap can irritate your skin so wear gloves when working with this plant. The star shaped seed heads are very attractive and should be left on the plant to mature in the hope of self seeding.
On Line Catalogue and Availability Spring 2022
The gardens are open Wednesday to Saturday from 9:30 to 5 and Sunday 9:30 to 4. The website lists most of the plants that we expect to have during the season however we receive many plants throughout the season that will not be listed on the website.. The website should be used for information about plants we carry but we did not update it for availability. Due to the large numbers of plants we are currently receiving the on line catalogue is not up to date. We will be updating before the long weekend. You are always welcome to call or email to see if a plant is in stock. Please do not make a trip for a specific plant without confirming its avaialbility with us.
