ABOUT OUR PLANTS
RareFind Nursery strives to offer its customers good val-
ue for the money they spend. That means good-sized,
healthy plants with large root systems. Most of our plants
are grown right here at the nursery, but we obtain some
plants from other specialty nurseries as well. Many of the
plants we offer are not available anywhere else, so we Phlox and Hummingbird Moth
must propagate them ourselves. Generally it takes from
2-3 years (or at least 2 growing seasons) to produce a
plant from a cutting. We ask for your patience in obtaining
more of plants that are out of stock.
