1/21/10      A prostrate form of Juniperus communis looking resplendeant just 300 yards from the Atlantic ocean in Halibut Point State Park, Cape Ann, Rockport, MA. What a marvel of beauty and tenacity under such harsh conditions! This year we are offering two communis varieties, both with a strikingly different look from the plant in the photo. Both are rigidly upright, tight columns, Juniperus c. ‘Compressa and Juniperus c. ‘Gold Cone’. See Dwarf Evergrees.

     Welcome to Bay State Perennial Farm where you will find the newest perennials as well as all the proven classics. We specialize in serving gardeners from western Massachusetts and beyond with a wide variety of perennials as well as a great selection of hostas, select trees and shrubs, and woodland plants. 

We are now closed for the season and will reopen again in April of 2010.

Thanks to all of you who helped make this another grand season

at Bay State perennial!     

       Our on line catalogue will be updated over the winter to reflect our 2010 offerings. New postings will be made periodically with the completed version ready in early spring of 2010. Exciting new varieties in every plant category keep flowing into the trade. All have the irresistible appeal of the “new and improved” and, since we can’t have all of them, the hard part is in deciding which are the most garden worthy. We are greatly aided in this task by the wealth of information shared by you, our customers, whose welcome input helps keep us up to speed in this constantly evolving area of plant selection.  As new and wonderful selections continue to appear, we’re doing our best to make them available while, at the same time, making sure to offer the widest possible collection of those much-loved, time-tested standards that will never go out of favor.

       Gift certificates are always available either over the phone with a credit card or through the mail with a check

       Our Bay State Perennial E-Bulletin is available to everyone, but you need to sign up. Click on the “Mailing List” button at the top of the navigation bar on the left for more information as well as for quick and easy sign up instructions.  I’m not expecting to send out any additional e-bulletins until we reopen next year, so there’s plenty of time to sign up.

Have a great fall and winter, and hope to see you at the nursery next spring!
