Why Bare-Root Plants?
- Bare root plants allow for you to jumpstart your native pollinator garden as the roots have one year of stored energy and will grow more quickly and more robustly than a seedling plant.
- Bare root plants can more easily outcompete weeds, especially in the first years.
- Bare root plants make weeding easier as they are larger and more robust than seedling weeds.
- Bare root plants are less bulky and expensive compared with potted plants.
