Our Retail Plant Sale At Azalea House Flowering Shrub Farm, 40 Voorheesville Ave, Voorheesville, NY 12186. If the pictures below dont open click here!
You can find me at The Plant Sale from May 15 through July 4 between 10 AM and 2 PM or at other times by appointment. We close for the season at the end of July.
I appreciate you coming during daylight hours when its not raining and giving me a call on my cell phone at 518-526-9101 before you arrive so I have maximum time to walk in from the fields, finish my breakfast or whatever before you arrive.
You can email me and make an appointment or ask a question.
I am only open as long as the plants we grow are in bloom.
Come in May for Lilacs while they are in bloom. Come in June for old garden roses and June or July for recurrent blooming roses.
I change my web pages and pictures frequently so you should reload each one in case your computer has it cached. Click each picture for a larger image that you can save as wallpaper or study more closely. You can actually see plants growing in our fields in the catalogs though they wont be brought to the plant sale until they flower (I overwrite the picture of them growing each month until they flower, then a couple times a year when they are flowering at the plant sale.
Send me an email asking to be added to my subscribers list. If I open early (I do that when Lilacs start blooming early), I notify my subscribers in an email. Subscribers also receive links to the monthly newsletter.
We grow our plants in 3 gallon pots for $10, 7 gallon pots for $30 each, 15 gallon for $50 each, 25 gallon for $100 each and 45 gallon for $200 each. Most of our plants are in 7 gallon and 15 gallon.
Most of my plants are grown within ten miles of the plant sale location at 40 Voorheesville Ave then brought in on a trailer during March through May.
I order virus free roses grafted on Rosa multiflora and own root from Canada and pot them in 7 gallon pots. In July I take cuttings. After the cuttings have grown for a year or two they also will be found in 7 gallon pots. The own root plants say so on the side of the pot. Most other plants we grow were originally bought as cuttings and then grown for a year or five until they flower.
Blueberry bushes, both native or exceptionally hardy hybrids are brought to the plant sale after I have grown them for a year, in a 3 gallon pot for $10.
All plants are grown outdoors all year except the newly rooted cuttings that aren't for sale. I grow them in pots; the roses, azaleas, rhododendrons, apple trees, pear trees and hibiscus have mulch around the pots to keep them from freezing in winter. So, no hothouse plants here.
I am starting to grow double flowered Hibiscus Syriacus so in the future I may end up being open until the end of July though most of my time in July is spent on plant propagation.
