美国灌木丛苗圃 Brushwood Nursery 是宾夕法尼亚州 Kennett Square 起家、2010 年迁至佐治亚州 Athens 的小型家族企业,由 Dan Long 于 1998 年创立,专业从事铁线莲、忍冬、紫藤、西番莲、凌霄、爬山虎等藤本攀援植物的栽培与邮购。苗圃坚持以 3/4 加仑与全加仑大盆深度培育,自家温室内扦插繁殖,配合气候调控的越冬管理,让植株根系发达、便于成活。超过 25 年里,Brushwood 一直坚持“全美免运费、全美 50 州合规配送、无最低消费”,并长年位列 The Garden Watchdog 同类目 Top 5 苗圃之列,是北美园艺爱好者公认的“铁线莲专家 (Clematis Specialists)”。苗圃主打品类分为铁线莲大花系、小花系、非攀缘铁线莲、本土藤本 (含紫藤、忍冬、凌霄、Crossvine、卡罗莱纳茉莉等),以及西番莲 Passiflora 专类;所有木本藤本均严守“绝不销售任何入侵物种”的承诺,只供应美国本土原生或经严格筛选的无害栽培品种,适合用于围栏、廊架、拱门、棚架、邮箱、灯柱以及墙面绿化。
藤本栽培与邮购历史
Dan Long 在园艺与温室行业工作多年后,于 1998 年在宾州 Kennett Square 创办 Brushwood 苗圃,凭家族世代创业的传统独自起家。建圃二十余年后,2010 年夏天苗圃搬迁至其夫人 Becky 的家乡佐治亚州 Athens,借更大土地与更长户外生长期把苗圃规模推向新阶段。如今 Brushwood 仍然保持小而精的家族经营模式:所有植株由苗圃自家温室培育并扦插繁殖,越冬期由人工调控温度,最大程度保证出圃苗根系健康、株型整齐。
核心产品线与本土原生承诺
苗圃现经营铁线莲 (涵盖大花型、小花型与非攀缘草本三类)、忍冬 (含本土品种 Dropmore Scarlet、Magnifica 等)、紫藤 (只售美国本土原生种,绝不出售亚洲产入侵种)、西番莲、美洲凌霄、Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata)、卡罗莱纳茉莉 (Gelsemium sempervirens) 及爬山虎 (Parthenocissus) 等。所有植株均栽培于 3/4 加仑方盆或全加仑大盆 (盆高约 25 cm),开放式盆底防止根系盘绕并促进侧根生长;包装前脱盆装袋以减少废弃物,盆器可清洗消毒后重复使用多年。
种植、修剪与“皇后攀援者”养护指南
Brushwood 官网“如何种植”文章把铁线莲称作“皇后攀援者 (Queen of Climbers)”,主张深植 5 cm、充分覆土、铺设松鳞或碎石保湿、生长季持续浇水。修剪按花期分 3 组:第 1 组 (春季老枝开花) 花后轻剪;第 2 组 (初夏老枝+新枝) 春季萌芽前剪至健壮芽上方;第 3 组 (夏末至秋季新枝开花) 每年强剪至 30–60 cm。苗圃同时提供铁线莲枯萎病 (Clematis Wilt) 防控建议、盆栽与多年生花境搭配方案 (Clematis integrifolia、heracleifolia、mandschurica 等草本铁线莲),以及“皇后攀援者”切花瓶插玩法。

Brushwood Nursery is a small, family-run vine specialist founded in 1998 by Dan Long, originally in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, and relocated in the summer of 2010 to Athens, Georgia, where Dan’s wife Becky grew up. The nursery has been shipping hundreds of clematis varieties along with select honeysuckles, wisterias, passionflowers, crossvines, Carolina jasmines, campsis and other climbing plants throughout the United States for more than 25 years, and is consistently ranked in the Top 5 of its category on The Garden Watchdog. All plants are propagated and grown on-site in climate-controlled greenhouses in tall gallon-size pots (about 25 cm deep) or three-quarter gallon square containers, with open-bottom pots that prevent root circling and encourage healthy root branching; stems are trimmed back for shipping so vines travel better and establish faster, and pots are reused after cleaning and sanitizing as part of the nursery’s environmental commitment.
Vines, Climbers and the “Queen of Climbers”
Brushwood is best known as a clematis specialist, offering large-flowered hybrids, small-flowered species and non-vining herbaceous clematis, but its catalog also covers Lonicera (honeysuckle), Wisteria (only U.S. native species, never invasive Asian types), Passiflora (passionflowers, some of which set edible fruit), Bignonia capreolata (crossvine), Gelsemium sempervirens (Carolina jasmine), Campsis (trumpet vine) and Parthenocissus (Virginia creeper). Every vine in the catalog is selected for being well-behaved in the landscape and useful on fences, trellises, arbors, mailboxes, lamp posts and walls.
Planting, Pruning and the Three Clematis Groups
The nursery’s online “How to Grow Clematis” guide introduces clematis as the “Queen of Climbers.” Planting tips include digging a hole twice as wide and twice as deep as the pot, planting the crown about 5 cm below soil level (so dormant buds below ground can re-sprout if the vine is hit by clematis wilt), mulching with composted pine bark or stones, and watering through the first growing season. Pruning follows the classic three-group rule: Group 1 (spring-flowering on old wood) needs only light shaping after bloom; Group 2 (early summer on old + new wood) is pruned in spring to the strongest buds; Group 3 (summer or fall on new wood) is hard-pruned to 30-60 cm each spring.
Containers, Combinations and Cut Flowers
Large-flowered clematis also make excellent container plants – try pairing Clematis ‘Dr Ruppel’ or ‘General Sikorski’ with white impatiens or petunias in a large patio pot. Smaller non-vining species like Clematis integrifolia (blue flowers), Clematis heracleifolia (shrub-like, blue flowers, great leaf texture) and Clematis mandschurica (rare white-flowered perennial) fit comfortably in perennial borders, while vigorous vines such as Clematis ‘Ernest Markham’ or Clematis ‘Madame Julia Correvon’ can be trained up a doorway, draped over a fence, or used as ground cover. Many clematis also work well as cut flowers: floating single blooms in a shallow bowl makes an easy, elegant table centerpiece.
Ordering, Shipping and Customer Care
Brushwood ships free to all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico with no minimum purchase, on a customer-selected delivery date in spring (February through July) and fall (September to mid-November). The nursery holds full compliance certification to ship to all 50 states, with documentation included in every parcel. Payment options include Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, PayPal and Shop, plus money orders and personal checks. Returns of plants in acceptable condition are accepted within 5 days, less a 15 percent restocking fee. The nursery does not print a paper catalog and does not host on-site visitors; questions go through the website contact form, and every message receives a personal reply.
