Thursday May 30 4pm - 8pm in Saskatoon
309 Mount Allison Court
It was a long winter and I seemed to have planted a little more than we need at the farm so we are having a Spring plant sale of specialty cutting varieties. Most of everything we will have on offer can be used for cut flowers. The varieties we grow are specific for the purpose of cut flower production and you will not generally find these selections at your local greenhouses. Available are Perennials, Biennials, Annuals, Succulents and a few veggies.
*Please feel free to preorder via email at mistikacres@gmail.com, as many plants are limited.*
Payment accepted - cash, cheque and e-transfer.
We will also be bringing:
Herbs - Basil, Rosemary and Thyme
Peppers - Jalapeno, Cayenne, Paprika and Green
Tomatoes - Heirloom varieties
Squash - Spaghetti, Pumpkins, and Jarrhdale
Sweet Siberian Watermelon
Dahlias
$12.00 each
Dahlia's are the most loved plants here at the farm and we grow lots of them and I have many varieties available to purchase. These plants are started in March and receive a lot of time and attention. Unless noted they grow to a height of 3-4'. They should be staked to protect them from any summer storms or strong winds. Full to part sun. The plants are all growing in gallon pots and have been hardened off and ready to be planted in your gardens.

Original Love
Albuferia
Bach (1 only)
Martagon Lily $15.00
Martagons make a lovely addition to any garden, with amazing longevity, often living undisturbed in clumps for may years unlike Asiatic Lilies which require splitting and dividing frequently. They will grow in full sun or part shade. Some people feel you will see more flowers if planted in full sun. Most varieties sport many flowers on tall stems, an average of 4'. Martagons are known to 'pout' after being disturbed, so it is no surprise when a bulb sends up no growth or very little growth it's first year in a new home. Patience is key with Martagon Lilies.
The following 2 varieties are available in limited quantities.
Manitoba Morning
Arabian Night
Landini Asiatic Lily
Perennials

Biennials
Angelica
Edible herb, but I grow it to attract the beneficial insects to the garden. The second year it produces it's flowers and seed heads and then dies. I do allow it to self seed so I always have a continual crop of first and 2nd year plants. Grows to 4-5' with a 2-3' spread. Full to part sun.

Grows to 5', producing flowers in the 2nd year and then dispersing seed. Many seedlings available.
Short lived cut flower. Great landscape plant.

Disks dried of the Lunaria.
Annuals
SOLD OUT

We plan to harvest the stems for fresh cuts once the husks have developed.
