Portenschlagiana Birch Hybrid Selling Tips
Sell Portenschlagiana Birch Hybrid to your customers who are looking for low-maintenance groundcover, or a flowering perennial for a rock garden or wall. Many customers look for spreading plants that will improve their landscape without adding many tasks to their garden upkeep; Bellflower is a wonderful choice. Its blue flowers bloom from mid-spring through late summer and fill small landscape areas or spill over rock walls with little more than regular water. While it does best in full sun, Serbian Bellflower will also succeed in dappled sunlight or partial shade, especially in extremely hot conditions. This plant is perennial in zones 3-8 and can be divided every few years.
Coach your customer:
1. Plant 4-inch containers 12-20 inches apart in well-drained soil in full sun.
2. Water regularly, especially in the first season after planting, to help establish a healthy root system.
3. Cut back about a third of the plant after blooming to maintain a tidy appearance, and divide plants in the fall or spring every 3-4 years.

It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
