RE: perennials DIGEST V3 #43

Also consider ForestFarm in Oregon (forestfarm.com), which has a long
list of wonderful hydrangeas. They ship in tubes (spring might be best
if you are east of the Rockies) and are very affordable. I have gotten
many small shrub starts this way that are now large and well established
in my zone 5b garden.

Well, depending on which side of the US you are on, there are quite a
few other sources for both the plants you name....WFF lost my business
several years ago; used to order from them, but not any more.  There are
so many other good nurseries out there.

For Perovskia, try:

Plant Delights (2 cultivars listed) -
http://www.plantdelights.com/Catalog/Current/page69.html
High Country Gardens - http://snipurl.com/83ig Joy Creek Gardens -
http://www.joycreek.com/237-002D4.htm
Roslyn Nursery (4 cultivars listed) - http://snipurl.com/83iu

For oak leaf hydrangea, try:

Digging Dog Nursery (2 cultivars listed) -
http://www.diggingdog.com/pages2/shrubshz.php
Heronswood (2 cultivars listed) - http://snipurl.com/83jf Wilkerson Mill
Gardens (major hydrangea source - 5 cultivars listed)
- - http://snipurl.com/83jo
Roslyn Nursery (5 cultivars listed) - http://snipurl.com/83ju

A Google search will turn up other sources; the above are either
nurseries I've ordered from or have heard nothing but good comments
about.
