Claire, I was at HD one day last spring when the trucks rolled in from
British Columbia loaded with spring blooming plants. I watched them unload
and snatched some good things to take home before they could get the full HD
treatment. In checking out all the big pots of shrubs, vines, perennials,
it seems they all came from the same giant nursery in BC - lovely plants
really. They sat on the blacktop for a long time in the sun and by the next
week were really showing signs of water stress and neglect. The annuals
seem to come from local sources. But that's just one store out of
thousands.

Now I know HD is also called Horticultural Death but sometimes you find a
great surprise in these stores. We have three in driving distance and only
the largest of the three is stocked with these plants - call ahead. Our
local supply have been in the store only a few days.
I always wonder where these plants are grown - this lot are not in flower
yet
so must be northern plants. If you have acid soils this is a treasure
trove.
