Author Garden: Any Idea How Long It Will Take??? Go Pistons Gardener Member # 2736 posted                       Hi from Detroit! Well, to begin - I've started up a prairie garden (to go with the theme of my house - an arts and crafts style bungalow) and just planted most of the flowers and grasses. Quick question though (I am a novice remember). I purchased two kinds of plants - one's from a local nursery, and ones from the internet. Generally, how long will it take my internet plants to catch up to my local nursery plants? Example - I have a Purple Coneflower that is already 2' (local nursery) and then one that is about 5" (internet nursery). Will both these guys be the same height next season? I'm just not sure of how fast or slow all my wild flowers grow. thanks in advance and i'll be sure to include pics (when there's somethin to look at!) lol...
