Here are some great sources of plants mentioned in my talks. Please support these great plantspeople with your patronage!
Local, Midwestern nurseries:
The Perennial Flower Farm (very small specialty nursery in rural northeast Iowa run by plant gurus Steve and Caroline Bertrand)
The Flower Factory (easily more perennials in one place than you could dream of, over 4,000 different perennials on-sale, tremendous)
Northwind Perennial Farm (home of plant whisperer Roy Diblik and a perfect collection of Zoneworthy plants)
Mail-order nurseries:
Plant Delights Nursery (the reigning champ when it comes to awesome, tested plants for gardens everywhere)
Annie’s Annuals (quirky, hip collection of fun annuals, perennials, and biennials)
Arrowhead Alpines (my absolute favorite catalog in the whole plant world; witty, irreverent, funny and GREAT plants)
Laporte Avenue Nursery (excellent supplier of plants for rock, scree, saxatile and trough gardens)
Gardens North (a Canadian seedhouse with a unique offering of species from around the world)
Brent & Becky’s Bulbs (a delightful and ever-increasing offering of bulbous plants from the two top U.S. bulb experts)
Odyssey Bulbs (another believer in the value of underused bulbs, great availability)
