Bonnie's has a setup in Donaldsonville, so their plants don't travel too far.

They also sell on consignment, which is a big reason the big boxes let them go to crap. They have no investment in the plants on the racks.

If you've ever wondered why the plants you start don't look like their plants it's because of growth regulators. They slow down the vertical growth and make the plant get thicker, which is a more eye-appealing plant. It also helps them last on the rack longer.

I did not know that. How are they administered and how long does it affect the vertical growth?
