Perennials
Our customers often remark that we have a perennial selection that includes varieties they’ve never seen or heard of. It is probably because we have a passion for the things and have a heck of a time leaving anything interesting and hardy off the ‘to grow’ list. Again, the majority of what we choose to grow is likely to be drought tolerant, maybe deer resistant, disease resistant, reliable and downright gorgeous. Yet you will find plenty of options for full shade, boggy areas and collector specimens as well.
