RE: perennials

Good gosh no I don't mind. I get most of them from High Country Gardens
out of Sante Fe. www.highcountrygardens.com on line. Print catalog is
very informative and educational, the also have a free xeriscape
e-newsletter. Get lots of their xeriscape stuff - and they have devised
some very ingenious packing to ship their plants in too. Only problem is
the 6 plant minimum, but you'll always find more than 6 you want! Prices
aren't terrible either. Have a very satisfactory relationship w/ this
supplier, always get good service.
