My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Good source for breeding/introduction dates for plants?

13 years ago

I am trying to plan a garden from scratch and am hoping to limit all of the plants to varieties available before 1900. Sometimes I can find mention of introduction dates in catalogs but not always.

Might there be some sort of plant registry or am
I stuck Googling each plant I find interesting?
