Where’s a Good Place to Order Perennials Online?
Question by Rebecca: Where’s a good place to order perennials online?
I’m looking for a very unique perennial called Echinacea “Green Envy”. It starts out as a completely green flower, and then turns pink as the season progresses. I typically purchase all my plants from local greenhouses or split perennials with neighbors and friends and I have checked everywhere in the area and am unable to find this variety of Cone Flower.
I would love to give a couple of these plants to my mother as a birthday gift, because she has completely fallen in love with the plant (and, because I work at a greenhouse, any excuse to buy plants is too good to pass up). Where is a reliable place to order perennials online? I’ve never done this before and would like to make sure that I get live plants when they come. Any help/advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

www.bluestoneperennials.com is great. The packaging is the best I’ve seen, and they give you free shipping on your next order if you return it. The prices are reasonable and the selection huge. They’re ecology conscious. They have a 100% guarantee. Their customer service department is fast and courteous, and they have a page where you can type the characteristics of the kind of plant you want (blue, medium height, summer-flowering, deer resistant, etc.), and they’ll give you a list of those that will grow in your area. Good luck!

Without knowing where you live this question cannot be answered. It’s a great deal of trouble to mail live plants between countries.
