Bluestone Perennial
Bluestone Perennial is a company founded in 1974, located in Ohio, that dedicates to growing and selling perennial flowers. Bluestone Perennial has been in the business for several years and there are several reasons for that.
First of all, if you don’t know it already, a perennial is a flowering plant that lives for at least 2 seasons, unlike an annual plant, which lives only one. Bluestone Perennial plants allow you to have plants that will survive the winter, and flower back again in the next spring.
Of course, there are winters, and there are winters. The winter in Florida or Texas isn’t the same as the winter in Illinois. Likewise, the resistance of certain plants is not the same as the resistance of others.
In order to solve this problem, Bluestone Perennial uses a clever system, which involves a map of the US, where states are divided in several zones, each one with a hardiness ranking, depending on how harsh the winter is in that zone. You can find easily your area in the map and see the hardiness ranking of the place were you live. In addition, every plant in their catalog has a resistance ranking assigned to it. All you have to do is match the resistance ranking of the plant you’re planning to buy with the hardiness ranking of the area where you live. This will tell you whether the plant will be able to stand the winter in your area. This system, of course, doesn’t cover any disasters, like floods, or hurricanes or big storms.
Another advantage of Bluestone Perennial is their customer service. Most florists’ customer services give service about purchases, guarantees and the like. Bluestone Perennial’s goes beyond that. You can call them for any aspect related to your plant, even months after you purchased it.
In fact, Bluestone Perennial is one of the companies that gives the most information about their products. They not only give you the characteristics of the plant you’re buying, but also information on how to take care of it, how much and how often you should water it, how much sun it needs, etc.
Finally, Bluestone Perennial has a gift certificate program that allows you to send a plant to a loved one, or a catalog, so that the person can select the plant that he or she wants. This makes a great gift for plant and nature lovers, or to people whom enjoy gardening.
These are just some of the reasons why Bluestone Perennial has stayed in the market for so long. If you want to know more about them, just visit their website and take a look at what they’ve got.
