Buying Plants Online is Easy and Fun

If you are new to gardening, deciding which plants to buy can be a bewildering experience. However, you can find many useful suggestions to buying plants for your garden throughout the internet.

Mail-order and online is an increasingly easy way to buy plants and they are delivered straight to your home, not to mention the convenience of armchair shopping. Buying plants online is one of the best ways to find desirable perennials and shrubs that are hard to source locally.

Online garden suppliers should be able to provide useful information, such as hardiness zone and growing information, so you can tell if a plant can handle your climate.

Tips for ordering plants and flowers online:

- Be sure that your order is clearly written or correctly selected.

- Be sure that the plants or flowers ordered are available.

- Order early and make sure that the delivery date does not conflict with the florist's delivery schedule.

- Give specific information, including a return address.

- Order flower online from florists who control their own delivery.

As you browse through the plant website or thumb through the glossy pages of the mail order catalogue, you'll more than likely see several plants that you just "have to have." It is part of what makes buying plants fun. Just earmark the pages and put those plants down on your wish list.

Buying the right plant online involves getting the name right. Botanical names do not change and they are especially important when ordering. A plant named 'tarragon' can be true French Tarragon (Artemsia dracunculus); it can be Russian Tarragon, a weed (Artemesia dracunculoides); or it could be Mexican Tarragon, which is a marigold (Tagetes lucida).

Sometimes is important knowing when your plants will be delivered. A northern nursery may not transport perennials until the weather in the north is mild. For southern gardeners, this may be too close to the hot season for the plants to succeed. If you are from the north and you order plants from the south, they may arrive before the frost has left the area and you will have to keep the plant indoors until your weather improves. Some of the larger nurseries will ship when it is the best time for customer location, so check the company policy before you order.

Description

French Tarragon is best grown in organically rich, dry to medium wet, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers a neutral soil. Avoid wet soils. Appreciates a sheltered location and a year-round mulch in cold areas. Cut plants to the ground in early spring. Dividing the clumps every 3-4 years will help keep plants robust, but replacement of the plants should be considered if plant vitality declines. Since any seed produced is generally sterile, French tarragon should be propagated by cuttings or division. Fresh leaves may be harvested at any time for cooking. Leaves may also be dried for later use by cutting the leafy stems in mid-summer and hanging them in bunches in a cool, dry location. Dried leaves should then be stored in airtight containers. Noteworthy Characteristics:French tarragon is a culinary herb noted for the pungent anise-like flavor and aroma of its leaves. It is a shrubby perennial which typically grows 18-24 inches (less frequently to 36 inches) tall on generally erect, leafy stems and slowly spreads by creeping rhizomes. Its narrow, lance-shaped, dark green leaves (to 3 inches long) may be used fresh or dried to add flavoring to fish, meats, vegetables, eggs, salads, sauces or vinegars. It is the primary flavoring in b ©arnaise sauce. It rarely flowers, and the few flowers that are produced are usually sterile. French tarragon is sold as either A. d. 'Sativa' or A. d. var. sativa. On the other hand, tarragon sold under the species name without reference to cultivar or variety may be the less pungent Russian tarragon, which is considered by most cooks to be significantly inferior for culinary use. French Tarragon is hardy in zones 5-9. The plant you will receive is growing in a 4" pot.
