Plant List

It is important to note that not all of the cultivars listed below will be available at any one time. I did not list prices because even in the same cultivar, they will differ according to size of the plants. Some plants come up later in the spring and will not be ready for the May sale date which is why I offer sale dates in both May and June. At times other than sale days, it is important to call ahead if you plan to visit. I do welcome visitors. Note: underlined names have links to pictures.
