Bare Root Plants for Sale
Thank you for your interest and happy growing!
PLEASE READ: If you are local or regional to the Finger Lakes area (able to pick up in person), feel free to reach out to hello@edibleacres.org with a clear wish list of plants as an alternative to ordering here and we will work to arrange a pickup.
We update our offerings on March 1st for Spring bare root sales and September 1st for Fall bare root sales. If you are visiting this page and see all plants as sold out, please make a note in your calendar to revisit at our next ‘opening’ and pick up some lovely plants!
Our Fall offerings tend to have higher numbers of trees, shrubs, cuttings and a medley of our abundant and Fall appropriate herbaceous perennials. Spring will generally have more herbaceous perennials and grasses, and a smaller number of trees and shrubs. We weight our inventory in large part based on seasonal appropriateness for establishment. We hope you understand and visit again if you don’t find the plants you are looking for this time.
If you are super eager to get plants now, we now have a Permaculture Nursery page that lists friends of ours with ethical and thoughtful growing practices. We strongly encourage you to check them out and get some awesome plants from them too!
Please be aware that some plants are considered ‘illegal’ in some states. It is possible that some of our plants are not allowed to be planted where you live. If you are in doubt, you can search the plant and your state and see if it they are prohibited or ‘illegal’ to plant and if so please don’t order them. Thanks.
TIP: Use the tags above to help filter our offerings by characteristic (ie. click on ‘fruit’ to find any fruit bearing plants we offer, etc.) As we add more and more it is a helpful way to find a plant to fit your goals…
Baptisia
Baptisia
Baptisia
Also known as Wild Indigo or False Indigo, a wonderful native to a lot of the US and a great addition to novel spaces too! Very hardy and steady plant. Grows steadily and reliably once the ground warms in spring, offers beautiful late season flowers on blemish free numerous stalks, doesn’t spread a ton by seed or send runners, it seems to be great at being right where you ask it to be! Oh, and this friend is a nitrogen fixing long lived perennial so it can support all sorts of woody plants getting up into the canopy!
Size:
2-4’ tall, generally 3-4’ in peak flower
Site Preference:
Baptisia feels very adaptable but seems to like full sun and decently well soils in our experience.
Hardiness:
Zone 3 to 9 or so
