I have ordered since they were bought out but not in the last two years. I had no problems with my orders.

Thanks. I've said I'm not going to order much this spring, since I'll be occupied with other stuff, but they often have some tempting and rare SW natives. When I got my Nolina greenei from them, nobody had offered that species before, or since.

I think they are the ONLY nursery that carries Agastache 'Blue Blazes' which I think is the best of all Agastaches and, most remarkably, does very well in my very heavy, wet clay. I believe High Country Gardens introduced it.

I went ahead and ordered some "Jacob Cline" monarda. It seems to have fallen out of favor locally, I haven't seen it for sale in years around here. The color is a spectacular flamin' deep red. For some reason my clump died out years ago, wanted to try again in another spot.

Good luck. Not to be a naysayer, but after 'Jacob Cline' dying on me for IIRC the 2nd time, I gave up on them. It is extra muggy here in summer. YMMV.

But hope springs eternal. I finally got one of the very SW looking, orange agastaches to survive - it probably came from HGC or maybe Dancing Oaks. After 'officially giving up' on these too! Will it return after this years snow cover though? Finger crossed!

@porkchop_z5b_MI I have a large flowered red monarda whose cultivar I don't know. Are there many large flowered reds? Would be nice to have the cultivar name. It grows well in the PNW as long as I don't let it get crowded by something more aggressive.

"Good luck. Not to be a naysayer, but after 'Jacob Cline' dying on me for IIRC the 2nd time, I gave up on them"

Yea, I know...but I'm hopeful second time's the charm. There won't be a third time.

I have M. fistulosa (wild bergamot), and I don't think I could kill it if I tried, that plant is set on world dominance, it seems. I grew that from seed for out in the pasture, it can do what it wants back there, the other thugs help keep it in check.

My red monarda looks very similar to 'Jacob Cline', but a quick search shows there are many that are red. These are unusually tall from 4 to 6 feet.

Got my order from them and almost everything is already planted. I'm overall pleased with the plants and the packing; a couple of them should have been wrapped up a little better to stop the soil from flinging out but it's ok. I'm glad things are not slipping since David's death and the ownership change.

And wouldn't you know I was bumming around in a nursery yesterday looking at pottery and what do I find? Jacob Cline mondara, of course! LOL! It was expensive, though -- double the price of what I got from HCG and the same size pot, so I am glad I ordered. My plan is to get them planted this afternoon (weather didn't cooperate last weekend).
