Sow True Seed is one of the seeds & bulbs listed in Asheville, North Carolina. The business is registered at 243 Haywood St, Asheville, NC 28801; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip. Google also lists it under gift shop, which is worth knowing if you are comparing several options in the area.

In Asheville, garden centers are busiest on spring weekends, when new stock arrives and popular plants sell out; weekday mornings are calmer and staff have more time to answer questions. Ask which plants are hardy for your USDA zone in North Carolina, whether trees and shrubs carry a replacement guarantee (one year is common), and whether the nursery delivers and plants large items. Fall is the best planting season for many trees and perennials, and end-of-season sales are common. Many nurseries close or shorten hours in winter, so check the listing for current hours and Google rating before you go.

Hours are published for 5 days a week. On most of those days it is open 10 am–5 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Sow True Seed at (828) 254-0708; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, sowtrueseed.com.
