Online Source for Unusual Plants

15 years ago

I'm looking to buy some good size, healthy plants online that I can't find locally, such as Black Beauty Elephant Ear, Passion Flowers, Mexican Sunflower. Can anyone recommend a good source? I've made my rounds of the local places and haven't had any luck finding these. I know they may come in later, but in Wisconsin, our season is very short, so I want to get going! (In the 40s here today)

Thx in advance,

Betsy

I didn't look to see if this place has the plants you mentioned, but they are known for unusual plants. I've actually been there and it was really cool. glasshouse works

Bluestone Perennials and Plants Delight would be my suggestions. Bluestone has a sale going on right now, so act fact if interested.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but the plants you are naming all require thoroughly warm soil and very hot air temps before they start growing. I live in the deep south, and I can tell you that these three cannot/will not be hurried. However, once the heat arrives, they grow FAST.

It has been my experience that I always get larger plants locally than by mail, not to mention for far less money.
