I never heard of it myself. I looked at their website and from what I know from visiting the area, I would bet you will be satisfied dealing with them. Al

Ruby, I'm not much help - I came across their website a few weeks ago, bookmarked it with a late winter order in mind but I have yet to place the order.

I don't see any glaring errors in plant descriptions, website well done and easy to navigate, telling us they do their own propagating....I'm thinking why not add support to one of the smaller businesses. They are about two hours from here, dropping in one day for a look-see wouldn't be out of the question for me either :)

I've encountered them a couple of times (online and at a show or sale....I think). There's several outstanding nurseries in the Sequim area - it's a great plant growing location - and I do favor supporting smaller independent nurseries, either online or in person. However, I didn't see much offered that would be considered especially rare. Most of their catalog offerings are readily available at other retail nurseries in this area and I should imagine, better Bay area nurseries as well.

Looks great; nothing to add but the link. I would not hesitate; just be sure to report back to us and to Garden Watchdog.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to post and tell everyone about my experience with Sequim Nursery. I only bought two plants because I'd never heard of them before and I wasn't sure what I would get. My bare root plants came last week and they are very nice. They are of good size with long healthy roots. Plus, they gave me a free plant as well!

So I highly recommend this nursery. Aside from the great plants they sent, their communication was quick and friendly. I am happy.

I'm so glad to hear that. I ordered from them too but I won't have my plants for a while (it's still winter here). I'll be sure to post when my plants arrive. What did you get?

Hi athenainwi,
I got kniphofia northiae and kniphofia rooperi which I've been looking for for a long time. The only other place that had rooperi was Plant Delights, and they wanted $16.00. I paid $10.95 for mine.

Sequim also gave me a gift of Iris unguicularis 'Francis Wormsley'

I actually added this company to Dave's Garden Watchdog site 2 years ago when I spotted a plant they had that I could find no where else in the U.S. by Mail order. I ended up getting a friend in California to buy one from her local nursery after I arranged for the wholesaler to sell them to her local nursery. I REALLY wanted this plant and it took months of phone calls (my pay) to arrange it. The end result was that I managed to kill the plant from overwatering. Now I read the cultural information on Sequims and they tell me that Farfugiums (which my plant is although the wholesaler has it misnamed) are not the same as Ligularias and have different water needs. Thanks to this thread I think I'll order from them. They really seem to be on top of things. And if you like foliage plants you can see why I fell in love with this Non-Hosta shade plant by the link below.

Well, now I'm really confused. When I see Farfugium in plant catalogs often times it will also be called Ligularia in parenthesis, and vice versa. I've been wondering about this for a long time. So are there two different plants or just one? And which is which?

There are two different plants for me for sure. The cultural requirements seem to be very different. This time apparently the "name changers" did a good job in separating plants that may look similar but aren't similar. I think it will take awhile for everyone in the mail order business to change over. These name changer people can be fickle and they could change again tomorrow.

Ligularia tussilaginea and it's several named cultivars, was renamed Farfugium japonicum a few years ago. No reason stated, that I could find. Not everyone agrees with the name change and continues to use the old name, which was in use for about 100 years. That is their prerogative and mine.
If a change of species name became necessary because of newly identified features, that separated it from the 150 or so species of Ligularia, then the accepted convention would be to revert to the Basionym name(1st name assigned), which is Arnica tussilaginea. The Genus Farfugium was proposed only a few dozen years ago and was never accepted. Today it contains only 2 species, one being Ligularia tussilaginea.
There are those of us that have grown Ligularia tussilaginea for more than 20 years,including the difficult 'Argentia' cultivar and find no compelling reason to rename them.

How interesting about the history of the name change. I still am not happy with what they did to Chrysanthemums (which I think they changed back on the cushion types). I like to use the latin when possible, and was proud of the fact that I had finally mastered getting my tongue around Ligularia Tussilaginia Aureo Maculata without too many stutters. Then they go and change it on me......

My plants from Sequim came today. They look very good, and there was even a bonus viola which was blooming, along with the viola I ordered. The dianthus and the primula look very nice and healthy. I'm very happy about my order and I'll go leave feedback on Dave's Garden when I get a chance.
