Edge Of The Woods Native Plant Nursery, LLC

Specializing in plants native to mid-Atlantic ecosystem

October 4, 2023

This Week In The Nursery

Now is a great time to plant.  Evenings are cooler, morning dew provides some moisture, and the plants will have two seasons of cool weather to establish before the heat of next summer.  But don’t forget to water if it doesn’t rain!  Feel the soil about 4″-6″ below the surface and if it is dry, your plants need water.  Take a look at one of our previous posts for tips on watering.

Trees and shrubs can be planted as long as you can dig a hole.  The sooner perennials are planted, the better.  With their smaller pot/root size, they need some time with warm soil to extend their roots outward and anchor themselves in the ground.  If you get them in the ground a tad late, keep an eye on them through the winter.  During freeze-thaw cycles, if the plant heaves out of the soil a bit, gently press it back into the soil.

Oaks are one of the best trees you can plant for ecosystem value.  And some of ours are on sale now! (See below)  Read more about oaks here.

Still Going – Selected Perennials Half Price

We are offering a grab bag of perennial plants at half-off.  Some may be past their prime, but the roots are in great shape.  Plant now for flowers next spring.  The selection is always changing so stop in to see what we have.

20%, 25% and 50% off Selected Species

We’ve chosen to offer these plants at a discount because we have a few too many of them, and/or we will need to re-pot if they don’t find a home soon.  And we would much rather see them in your landscape than re-pot them!

Also, we will accept returns of pots from plants purchased at our nursery.  We can not take any pots that you did not get from Edge of the Woods.
