Lon -- I visited the Web site, clicked on the e-mail Tim link and my 
e-mail has not been returned. Perhaps you could take up your concerns 
with him...tim@springmeadownursery.com

There is no physical address for ColorChoice Plants because it's not 
a place and not a nursery. Proven Winners is the marketer of the 
plants, which come from nurseries. Spring Meadow Nurseries is a 
wholesaler, shipping liners to growers. It does not sell to the 
public.

At ColorChoicePlants.com, there is a lot of information about the 
plants geared toward gardeners, the media and growers.

You can find out about Spring Meadow Nursery at the links below. It 
is a physical place. I've been there.

www.springmeadownursery.com or
www.pottedliners.com

I'm not sure exactly what your issue is with the "nature of the 
plants." That some might be invasive, depending on where you live? 
Plants are sold all the time that might be invasive somewhere.
