Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art 2016 Native Plant & Seed Sale Expected Plant Availability The plants in our sale are carefully nursery-propagated. None are collected from the wild. A large percentage are grown from seeds that are collected by Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art garden volunteers from the gardens surrounding the Brandywine River Museum of Art and from the Conservancy’s adjacent meadows here in Chadds Ford, PA. Packets of these same seeds, hand-collected, cleaned and packaged by the garden volunteers, are available during the plant sale as well as year-round in the museum’s gift shop. Seed packets are $2 each and $5 for a set of any three packets. Sharp-eyed shoppers at our annual sale have learned that we customarily sell some plants as small communities of compatible species. This means that a pot with a large Foamflower may also contain a seedling Wild Columbine or Wild Geranium; a Brandywine Bluebell may include a Dutchman’s Breeches; a Showy Coneflower might contain a Dense Blazing Star and a Smooth Beardtongue. Customers pay for the primary plant, only. Such combinations can be separated and planted individually or planted as one and allowed to grow as a group. Nearly every batch of plants at our sale is presented with an informative sign, usually containing a color photo, to help you better understand where the plant will grow best and what it can be expected to look like after it has grown a bit in your garden. To help you remember that information after you get home, each plant has a label which includes the basic attributes specific to that plant: typical size, time and color of flower, its sun preference (full sun, part shade, shade) and soil moisture preference (wet, moist or dry) and, if there is room on the label, a comment regarding its value to birds, bees and butterflies. Plant Prices In 2016, our price structure stays the same as it was last year. Herbaceous plants (ferns, grasses, flowering perennials) are offered in a number of different pot sizes and typically range in price from $5 to $8 a pot. Woody plants (vines, shrubs, trees) are most commonly sold in one-, two- or three-gallon pots, with base prices typically at $19, $29 and $39, each. The following list represents the plants we expect to have available at this year’s event. As with every plant sale, there will be late-hour additions to the offerings and unfortunate crop failures. Plants marked with an asterisk tend, in our experience, to be less palatable to deer.
