This is not good because I have already spent too much money, Who's idea was it for me to go there??
I must delete this from my bookmarks before I go broke!!

The most beautiful until the next one that's most beautiful. You're addicted, Susan ... so addicted.

I garden for the pollinators.

Terra Nova is a pretty big breeder, and their plants can be found at more nurseries than are listed at their site search. If you look around at nurseries in your area, or call around, you might find the plant locally. I do order plants by mail order, but I'd rather buy local.

There is a pretty good nursery not far from my house that sells a lot of different Terra Nova cultivars.

YOU ARE SOOOOO RIGHT!!

Karen The last time I tried to order They just gave me a list of nurseries that carry their plants. The closest one to me was 100 miles away. That is why I haven't been back to the website till yesterday I mean. I will check with the locals to see if any vendors are closer. Great idea Karen!

It's really best to check directly with your local nursery. They know what they carry. Besides, any excuse to visit a garden center is a good excuse.

Yes, for sure! When I dropped by a local garden center last week I got 75% off on bulbs. I was a very happy! Also picked up a Beautybush on clearance for 5.00 in a one gallon pot, six spider lilies and three blue Iris. The bulbs were a little over a dollar a piece, so I am thrilled, check these out!!

Very Nice plus a good deal. Susan Terra Nova supplies a lot of growers that supply garden centers . For example Walters Gardens and Garden Splendor carry a lot of their plants.

Ok, I'll keep my eye out for them. I don't think I need anything else this year. Come to think of it I didn't need anything to begin with.

Actually, Pam's co-op of Heucheras/ Heucherellas is from Terra Nova - and she will attempt to price anything else they have that you can sell the minimums on...

I'm not laughing AT you ....>evil grin<

I got four 'Georgia Peach' from her last year and some Hosta liners. All doing well.
