Hardy bog plants accent the water garden by adding color and shape to the water garden. Our
plants are grown in 2" net pots to insure good root development to reduce transplant shock. Our
method of growing the bog plants in this way reduces the likelihood of the plant dying back like
bare root stock normally would. The size of the plant that we ship varies by variety. We try to ship
plants that are semi-mature not just new starts.
