Nursery
Blanchette Gardens is a retail, family run nursery that began in 1981. We take pride in our very extensive list of perennials with tens of thousands of containers in stock for retail sales. We feature varieties noted for their beauty and suitability to this climate. We offer many very rare or unusual plants, some of which are available nowhere else. We propagate virtually all of the plants including many difficult specimens. We do not buy and resell which allows us to keep our prices reasonable. Unlike other nurseries, we do not force our perennials in greenhouses. They are grown outdoors, so they flower at the correct time and are less likely to keel over and die with frosts. We often pot up many new varieties during the season that will not be on the spring list and sometimes we sell out of items during the course of the year. Shop early for the best selection. Sorry, no mail order.

Catalog
A detailed catalog is on line at www.blanchettegardens.com. Please keep in mind that we pot up many new varieties during the season that will not be on the spring list and sometimes we sell out of a few during the course of the year. Prices are subject to change during the season.
Sales
Only customers on our mailing list will be notified by postcard of any sales we may have during the season. Sales will not be posted on-line.
Gift Certificates
Plants make lovely gifts that last through many seasons. Please send us a check for the amount of the gift ($25 minimum) and your friend's name and address. We will promptly send them a gift certificate along with a catalog.
Recycle
We give a five cent credit for any pot that we reuse in the nursery. Please restrict your returns only to those containers we use. We cannot use old plug trays, ceramic pots, etc.
Catalog Code
After the name of the plant you will find the flower color, height, flowering time, and hardiness zone. The small print after the price of each variety indicates where to find the plant in the nursery. For example, 19M means the plant is in row 19, middle section; 19F means row 19, front section; 19B means row 19, back section. Each row in the nursery is clearly marked. An * after the row number in the catalog means stock is very limited.
Hardiness Zones and Bloom Times
Hardiness is an estimation of a plant’s ability to withstand cold temperatures. Cultural conditions, summer heat, amount of water and other conditions can also have an influence. We try to list on the side of caution with our hardiness ratings. During the past few years we have noticed a change in many plants usual bloom time. We use past experience to estimate bloom times, while Global Warming seems to be changing the plants natural bloom calendar.
Zone 2 -50 to -40 F
Zone 3 -40 to -30 F
Zone 4 -30 to -20 F
Zone 5 -20 to -10 F
Zone 6 -10 to 0 F
Zone 7 0 to +10 F
Guarantee
We guarantee all plants sold by us to be true to name. This guarantee is limited to the purchase price of the plant. We cannot guarantee the growth or performance of any plant after it leaves our nursery. When you purchase a plant we try to offer the best advice we can about hardiness and growing conditions; this is a service and not a guarantee. Everything listed is subject to crop condition and supply. We reserve the right to limit quantifies purchased if stock is low. We also do not like to sell plants which are not showing any growth. Some varieties do not start to grow until early May and others go dormant in the summer. Prices may change during the season.
No Mail Order
We do not ship. Plants are only available for purchase in the sales area of the nursery.
Fargesia
The “Umbrella Bamboo” has pea-green foliage and a very graceful habit. The thin leaves give a rather delicate appearance. I have grown it in Carlisle for many years so it must be hardy. Most important is that it clumps and it does not run.

Ferns
No shade garden should exist without at least a few ferns. They come in many shapes and sizes. These are all initially propagated from spores. It takes some time as they must go through an alternation of generation, before the fern appears. All grow best with a compost enriched soil. Deer have not eaten any ferns here. Crested forms have divided frond tips.

Geranium
The “Cranesbills” are not the tender annuals that have the common name “Geranium”. All varieties we list are hardy perennials. Low growing forms are good in the rock garden while taller ones make excellent additions to the border. A humus rich, well-drained soil is best. Most enjoy growing in the sun or light shade.

Best divided every three or four years.
