February is the time of year when plant lovers get to dreaming, and if you’re dreaming of rare or hard-to-find plants or seeds, we can make your dreams come true! Whether you’ve been browsing seed catalogs and want to save some money on shipping, or you want a strange and unusual shrub or tree that you’ve never seen for sale, get in touch with us and we can poke around in the back alleys and remote corners of the plants world for you.
Seeds
Get an early start on your garden by planting seeds this winter. Seeds are less expensive than starter plants and come in hundreds of varieties not typically available as starts. Perhaps more importantly, growing from seed gives us a sense of accomplishment and something to do over those long winter months!
Fort Collins Nursery has a huge selection of flower and vegetable seeds arriving throughout the month of January. You’ll find all your favorite varieties from Johnny’s Selected Seeds, Renee’s Garden, Botanical Interests, Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. and Seed Savers Exchange in stock all winter long.
Looking for something different to plant this year? Check out hundreds of interesting varieties from Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co. who specialize in rare, hard to find seeds from around the world. Examples include Berkeley Tie-Dye Green Tomato, Scarlet Kale, Chinese Red Meat Radish, Blue Potatoes and Missouri Pipe Corn.
