Annuals
Annual plants are grown from seed or rooted cuttings. Seeding machines are used to sow seed into cells of seed flats. Most of the cuttings come from Skagit’s own stock plants. These cuttings are inserted into cells of the cutting flats by hand. Once successfully propagated, these liners are then either sold to other growers or transplanted into Skagit’s own finished pots for direct sale to garden center customers.

Perennials
Perennial liners are started in much the same way as annuals. The finished perennials are produced by transplant from liners, purchased perennial rootstock, bulbs, or by tissue culture.

Skagit historically has purchased its necessary material of production from nationally and internationally known reputable suppliers of the horticulture business, with whom Skagit Gardens has had long term relationships.

We work hard to maintain a clean stock program resulting in plants of "high health" for our customers.
