Re: Re: Help with H. americana!

I love Greer, but hate the shipping cost. Several years ago I got a Trycirtis macrantha subsp. macranthopsis form them. For something so hard to find you'd think I'd get a little plant, but they sent a big plant whose roots really filled out a gallon pot. The Hydrangea 'Lilacina' they sent was huge and well developed, too. I order 3 Japanese mapales from them. One was mislabeled. They gave me sort of a rough time about it (couldn't believe they could mislabel anything), until I scanned a leaf and emailed it. They immediately shipped me the right plant. My Acer p. 'Orangeola' was a stunner when it arrived and is even more so years later. Their plants are always healthy and well developed. And you're right, sometimes it is the only place you can find that carries a particular plant, like the Erigeron I ordered.

Kitty, have you had good luck with Greer? I ordered an Azalea 'Anna Kehr'
from them today. They were the ONLY nursery that had it that I could find.
I'm paying through the nose for it but I desperately want to replace the
one I left behind when I moved.

Sorry to hear about the damage, Chris.  Some things are perhaps too

delicate

to be handled that way.  Glad they gave you the use of their photos.  Do
they take all their own photos?

The Greer order I received had a couple of cyclamen.  Nice-sized tubers.

I
potted them up in qts and the tubers are almost that big across. I hope
they survive.
Also potted 3 Erigeron 'Darkest of All' (one so big I barely could get it
into a trade gallon) 1 big Penstemon, and a Verbascum. Anything anyone
wants to tell me about them as far as holding them until mid-May?
