Hi Frank, I order from G.H. Wild every spring. Normally the spring offerings are different from the prior fall and those same ones aren't offered the following fall, guess they dig some that they don't have enough of for the fall offering or something. The quality of the roots isn't noticeably different between spring and fall offerings. They send them late enough so our ground isn't frozen here in CO and I've actually had a few put out a single bloom same spring. Different varieties react differently though--I've had a few barely put out new growth the same spring and die back earlier than normal. Most put up slightly less growth than those planted the prior fall, catch up by the following spring. So I'd say if they have some you're interested in go for it!
