Ladys Mantle

"Do you sell any other types of flowers besides peonies?" is a question we are often asked by our customers. Up until this point the answer has been no. We did experiment with shipping fresh cut lilacs several years ago. The lilacs did not ship nearly as well as the peonies do so we only shippedthe lilacs for one season.

Begining in 2011 we will offer a limited amount of Ladys Mantle available for local pickup only. We are located about 15 minutes from Ann Arbor, MI so if you are in the area and need Ladys Mantle please cotact us.

We have grown Ladys Mantle as a nice foliage plant in our shade gardens for many years. The leaves are a beautiful shade of green and in late May or early June the plants make spikes of tiny yellow flowers.

Recently a local florist starting purchasng Ladys Mantle from us and she has always told us how Ladys Mantle is the in thing with floral designers right now. That peaked our interest so we planted more Ladys Mantle.

If anyone knows how to pack and ship Ladys Mantle please let us know by leaving a comment below.
