In addition to the Aldan Boosters usual line-up of flowering annuals and non-native perennials, Aldan Tree Tenders is proud to offer individual native perennial plant plugs for sale.
Landscape Plugs (TM) may only have a few inches of leaves above the soil level, they may not even be flowering, but these plugs have healthy root systems, are grown organically without pesticides, are much easier and quicker to plant, and establish much faster in the garden.
Cost: All native plant plugs are $4-5 each, all proceeds go to Aldan Boosters.
Available Landscape Plugs (TM), individual plants are 2"x 2"x 4-5" deep
