Welcome to our Seedlings selection. Designed for gardeners who want reliable performance, simple establishment and long-term dependability without complications. Seedlings are young plants that have already germinated and passed their most vulnerable stage of growth. Growing trees, shrubs and perennials from seedlings allows the plant to concentrate on root development and naturally adjust to the soil, climate and growing conditions found in their hardiness zones. Plants like Acer rubrum, Quercus alba, Cornus florida and Liquidambar styraciflua grown from seedlings tend to establish quickly and develop into vigorous healthy specimens. Starting with seedlings means allowing nature to take charge from the very beginning, creating healthier plants for years to come.
Easy to Plant & Grow Seedlings
If you are new to gardening, you will find seedlings easy to grow. Planting your young tree or shrub is as simple as loosening the soil, setting the plant at the correct depth, lightly pressing the soil around the root ball and watering well. Seedlings have young roots that quickly adapt to the surrounding soil. They will experience less transplant shock and enjoy a steady rate of growth. Many trees and shrubs like Betula nigra, Nyssa sylvatica and Cercis canadensis can acclimate to a wide variety of growing zones if planted where they’ll do well. Give your seedlings plenty of water during the first growing season, this will encourage deep root development. Once established seedlings will practically take care of themselves. Larger, more mature trees and shrubs often struggle to adapt to the seasons as quickly as seedlings can. Plants that start small and grow at a steady rate tend to be the easiest to grow.
Seedlings Grow Deep Roots for Long-Term Stability
One reason why seedlings perform so well is because they get their root system started early. The bigger and healthier the rhizomes are the more water and nutrients your plant will absorb resulting in healthier foliage year after year. Plants like Quercus rubra, Taxodium distichum and Magnolia virginiana thrive when grown from seedlings. Deep root development helps plants stand tall through seasonal changes and all kinds of weather. You can mulch around seedlings to help hold in moisture and create a barrier between the soil and the trunk of the plant. Keep in mind most mulch allows the soil to breathe as well. Seedlings have been known to out perform older transplants over time. This may be because they get off to a slower start, developing a better structure as they grow. Once established many seedlings need little maintenance and will grow into beautiful plants that blend with the surrounding landscape.
Grow Your Seedlings in Their Appropriate Zones
Growing your plants in the zones where they will perform best is the key to a stable landscape. When you plant trees, shrubs and perennials that like the conditions of your yard, they will establish quickly and grow with confidence. The main thing seedlings need from you is proper watering and location. Once they’re in the ground many plants won’t need much hands on attention. As seedlings mature, they will develop the traits of plants that have been in your landscape for years. Many continue to look better as they age gaining strength and appeal as the years pass. Our selection of seedlings provide gardeners an affordable option that just keeps on getting better. They may take patience to grow, but years of maintenance free beauty can be yours by starting with seedlings.
