Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?

A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Please forgive us, but Mr. Smarty Plants has been overwhelmed by a flood of mail and must take a break for awhile to catch up. We hope to be accepting new questions again soon. Thank you!

Title: Does the Wildflower Center plant sale include plants or only seeds?
Answered by: Nan Hampton

QUESTION:

Does the list of plants for your Fall Plant Sale imply that they are availble to be transplanted or only as seed? Thanks

ANSWER:

The Wildflower Center Plant sale is primarily plants available in 6-packs, 4 inch, 1-, 2-, 3-, 5-, 10- and 15-gallon containers to be transplanted.  You can find a link to plant prices, available plants and dates and times of the sale on our Plant Sales page.  Native American Seed will also be there with seeds for sale.
