This year at the Annual Plant Sale Under the Tent the Friends will be selling Landscape Plugs.
Here are some of the benefits of using them instead of a larger container plants:
- Plants reach flowering size in their first season and have a high transplant success rate.
- Reduced labor costs for installation
- Compact size is easy to transport with reduced handling costs
- Reduced waste on the job site
- Root channels, tapered cells and drainage holes direct roots to one point for air pruning, resulting in dramatically reduced root circling.
- Reduced growing medium creates optimal root density for quicker establishment in native soil
- Easy to plant under existing trees with minimal root disturbance.
- Easier to fill in gaps in existing plantings.
- Economical option for large green infrastructure and stormwater management projects.

Aster cordifolius
