What are the best sources of flower purchase?

For perennials I like to see what the actual plants are locally and compare the same plant at different stores - if a plant looks alright and is reasonably priced then I%26#039;ll buy it. Perennials are an investment so I want to make sure the root systems look good and the plant is not so small that it won%26#039;t survive the harsh winters here.





For annuals I mostly plant seed because it%26#039;s cost effective and requires very little effort. It is also a great way to fill in between the new perennials. Marigolds, petunias, cosmos, etc., are all easy to grow by dropping seed on the ground. If you want to buy petunias/marigolds or some other annual, check to make sure the plant looks healthy, the root system looks good, and pick a plant with buds rather than the flowers.





I%26#039;ve had great luck at local nurseries, home depot type places, walmart, etc. but I%26#039;ve also had pretty good luck at bluestone perennials and park seed online.





good luck!

What are the best sources of flower purchase?
i purchase 99% of all my plants from lowes and i buy them off the distressed plant racks. most garden centers like wal mart, home depot, kmart, etc has the marked down plants. it just isnt possible for these stores to take care of the plants the way they need to be so they end up marking lots down to get them out of the store but still get a little bit out of them (im a former lowes employee in the garden center)It saves a bundle of money and i have never lost a plant i have bought from the racks. usually once you get them out of the pots and they are watered and cared for they turn out beautiful!


I have bought annuals/perineals/shrubs/trees/roses for .10 to 5.00


All my roses were bought for 1.00 a piece
Reply:local nurseries are the best as you get the local native plants
