Kruckeberg Botanic Garden’s Rock Garden Plant Sale
August 10-12, 10am-5pm
Join us for a sale on plants for rock gardens and rock garden containers at the MsK Rare and Native Plant Nursery, located within Shoreline’s Kruckeberg Botanic Garden.
Rock garden plants thrive in poor, rocky soil and often prefer dry, sunny locations as well. Though often native to alpine or arid ecosystems, they can thrive in an average Puget Sound garden when given the correct growing conditions. In the right conditions, in fact, many species thrive on neglect and prefer little or no fertilizer or supplemental water.
We’ll mark down prices on many plants perfect for rockeries or rock garden-style containers, including Hebes, Penstemons, Sedums, dwarf conifers, and select bulbs. Join us!
