Seed/plant catalogs

18 years ago

Hi All: Just got a great little seed catalog. "Select Seeds." Anyone order from them? They seem to have a nice variety of things I can't live without,(lol) and their prices seem reasonable compared to some of the other places. Know of any other catalogs worthwhile requesting?

    I've ordered from them a few times and have no complaints.

    I ordered the Inca Sun but set the delivery date for may because it is still cold here. They do have some cool stuff, but that is the only thing I ordered. I always request the park seed catalog and thompson and morgan for seeds, a parks also has plant catalogs too. I ordered 2 butterfly bushes from the plant catalog in the fall and they were just twigs maybe 4 inches tall so we'll see what happens with those, but I have always been satisfied with their seeds. A new one I got this year was Territorial seed co. May want to check the web/request a catalog. They have Miner's Claim, which I ordered, and a Coconut Lime Echinacea. Beweare, though, I have recieved multiple copies of most of these catalogs. I hate that...such a waste of paper.

    Hi Shawn: Yeah, the Inca Son is the Brug I'm thinking of getting from them. Will look for the Miners Claim. I'm intensely searching for Datura Missouri Marble seeds. Think it would be great in my variegated collection. But they seem, so far, impossible to find! Will look for some of the catalogs you've mentioned. Thanks, Gloria

    Gloria: Did not see the missouri marble seeds in any of those catalogs. I think thy all have some dat seeds and T&M has sang and suav white seeds I tink but if you are looking for a viriety of common plannt seeds...nothing real exotic..they are good. I think I saw a variegated dat at my local nursery this past summer but I went straight for the variegated brug and didn't even look at the dats because that was when I was just getting started with my first brugs. I am going to get some dats this summer if they have them and I will check if they have the variegated dat and maybe send you one? Also curious to see what brugs they have, last year was the only time they had them for sale. My variegated is named 'Peach Parfait', can't find any info on it. I wish I would have seen what the nonvariegated one was named but they were out when I went back.

    Thanks Kylie, I kind of figured it must be that or P&C since I couldn't find any info on it. The tag was from a nursery here in PA so I was trying to find info on them to see if they might have discovered/named it but didn't find any info.

    Kylie: You want the LIST in alphabetical order???rotflmao!!! I am sooo bad about these Brugs that I think I'm getting good!!! ;0) Gloria

    Greenwood nursery - although I don't have a catalog just went online - stuff I got was well larger than I expected.
    I got Rose of Sharon from them, rather pleased. I was looking for a light double pink and well you know I found other stuff, still don't have the double pink. Anyone know where I can get one??

    Also, seedsprout.com - you should see her brugs - I happen to be lucky enough to live about 20 miles from her. This could be a bad thing. LOL

    SeedSprout and Country Garden are the two most reliable brug nurseries and always have high quality plants. I'd definitely be in big trouble if I lived that close! I just started dealing with a new to me online nursery, not for brugs but other plants. I received my first order today and am quite pleased. It's called WorldPlants.com.

    Karyn - I'm on Seedsprout right now - SHOPPING.

    Does anyone remember Mark's nursery? Or triggers?

    For the LIFE of me I cannot remember now what their nurseries were called because I wanna order. . .NOW, and set up for shipping a little later. (grin)

    blicon I think was one. . .banging my head. Guess I could try to sift though the emails. .

    Looking at the shooting star on Seed sprout. Thinking about another Mountain Magic too.

    Karyn:

    I've ordered from World Plants. I ordered my gunnera manicotta from there.

    They send AMAZING plants. Ok, the gunnera manicotta in the little bog in my front yard didn't work out so well. (grin) That wasn't their fault, that was mine.

    He used to have this hysterical page up about Gunnera Manicotta. It isn't working right now. But he still has a short blurb about it that is pretty funny.

    https://www.worldplants.com/gunneras.htm

    I'm gonna try again this year though! Ha!

    Think Trigger's was TyTy, was it not?

    Think I found one of the guys. . .

  • 18 years ago

    OK Karen you just had to post another plant place. I just finished, OMG I spent to much.

    OK, how about this deal, since seedsprout is close to me, I am hoping to go there tomorrow by the way, why don't I just tell you guys what I have gotten already and you get what I don't have, then I can just go pick them up for you and mail the to you myself - you wouldn't miss the section I cut off - really - I promise. LOL

    Dweeb Ty Ty is nothing but a scam operation. I've never seen so many negative comments made about one business in my life. Their site is actually funny with all the Abercrombie and other catalog models pics copied and pasted into thier site. Check the R&R Vendor forum here.

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh gotcha. I'll stay away.

    That must not be one of the guys then.

    I emailed Blicon, found Trigger selling some stuff on ebay with HEAT PACKS (ordered all 4 of them! ha!)

    Emailed Karcheski - was thinking about katzkuntrykuttins.biz - she's got some shredded cuttings - I'm on the hunt now. (grin)

    Still cold here - 20s at nite, but I'm hunting. . .

    About to dump a TON at seedsprout, Valley grow has the Valley Shredded Peach, and more Kyles giant white, and Logees has species and super nova (WHY do I keep trying to GROW those?) I have ONE species growing. But I seem to keep wanting to bang my head on that wall. . .
