Our Seedling Program: Everything You Need to Know

During 2022 we worked with our seeding machine to see what opportunities it could bring us. This seedling program has allowed us to add hundreds of varieties to our product line. Popular items like Wave Petunias, Pansies, and vegetables are now available in seedling trays and can ship with any rooted order!

Our seedling trays are sold in trays of 288, but billed at 250 quantities. Our team is trained to mark each tray as it is prepared for shipment so it will be billed by what has germinated. So if we see that only 200 seeds germinated in your tray, you will only be billed for the 200 quantity.

The plug of soil the seedling will be growing in is 7/8s of an inch in diameter and an inch tall. Partial trays are not available for these items, so full trays must be ordered. If there is less than a full tray on availability, our system will allow you to order the remaining quantity.

Seedling trays are cheaper than rooted liner trays and open up a much larger availability of varieties to you. You’ll be getting more plants to the tray which will reduce the cost per plant on freight. 

Seedling trays do require more care than rooted cuttings do upon arrival. The plugs are smaller so more water is needed to keep the plants hydrated. You will want to transplant within a few days of receiving your seedlings as they do not keep in their trays well. You will want to wait 2-3 weeks after transplanting before fertilizing your plants. The same is true for rooted cuttings, but it’s even more important with seedlings. 

Take a look at our website now for a full list of our seedlings! You can find them here. Keep in mind, there are more varieties being added every month!

The seedling program is new, so we are still working through the details. Changes may occur to billing, shipping, and ordering policies as we learn more about these newer products.
