I'm sure if they had a greater selection of unusual annuals and perennials they would be pleasantly surprised that these sold well. People like variety... at least some people do. I have noticed that in the Northeast people seem to be more tradition bound and buy the same thing every year...this is the place the impatients go or here's were we plant the petunias or begonias.<br /><br />Me, I'm looking for Corydalis, Asarum speciosum, Pteridophyllum racemosum, Osmanthus x burkwoodii, Exochroda racemosa or x macrantha etc. Even the mailorder catalogs don't offer some of these so I'm hunting them down using Google.Kihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576859749293959381noreply@blogger.com
