Back to TopWhat percentage of the plants sold do you grow?Over 90% of the plants we sell are grown in our greenhouses here in New Carlisle. A few specialty plants may be purchased in from time to time.

Back to TopDo you guarantee the plants you sell?Yes, we offer our Green Thumb Guarantee that states- “If at any time during the current growing season you are not completely satisfied, simply return the item with your receipt for a full replacement.” Back to TopWhat is “special” about plants grown at Meadow View?We strive to offer the healthiest most attractive plants on the market. By paying close attention to many details, our staff of plant lovers nurture our crops from seeds, cuttings, or divisions until they become a saleable size. Our belief is that if our customers start with purchasing healthy vigorous plants, they will grow and prosper in your garden and provide the results you are seeking. Back to TopHow often do I water my plants?Most container grown plants purchased at Meadow View should only be watered when they dry down. If the soil feels moist when you insert your finger up to the first knuckle, don’t water. A thorough watering is suggested when plants first start to wilt when the soil feels dry to the touch. Drainage is very important so excess water escapes the container. Plants should not be allowed to sit in a saucer of water for more than 15-20 minutes. For further information stop in and ask one of our friendly staff. Back to TopDo you have any plants that grow in the shade?Yes, we have a great assortment of perennials and annuals that will perform in the shade. Stop in and pick up a tip sheet on shade plants, or ask one of our friendly staff. Back to TopDo you have any “new” plants I can grow?Yes, each year we try many new varieties. Some turn out to be real winners, some don’t, but it is interesting and fun to experiment with different plants as there is such a wide selection from which to choose. Back to TopHow often do I fertilize my plants?Annuals-We recommend incorporating slow release fertilizer such
as Osmocote when planting and using a water soluble fertilizer such
as Miracle Gro or Jacks each time you water for the first two weeks
after transplanting annuals. The water soluble fertilizer gets the
plants off to a good start and the slow release continues to feed
gradually throughout the growing season. An occasional watering with
water soluble fertilizer throughout the season ensures good healthy
plants. Back to TopWhen is it safe to plant annuals in the spring?The official frost free or “safe” date for planting most annuals
in our area is Back to Top |
