RE: perennials

That's where I got mine and, like you, have been so pleased with HCG's
service and product.  Just wondering if there was another good supplier
out there who might offer some different lavs.

Thanks, 
Lynda - Zone 7, West TN

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.
