I was looking at the books in my favorite thrift store I found a pamplet from Gardeners'choice.It has great plants in it .Has anyone here ever dealt with them before? I went to there site at www.gardenerschoice.com .It has amazing things in it buttttt seems some are impossible.I do like looking at it.
Some of those plants do look a bit imaginative aren't they. I did notice that many of the descriptions were accompanied by drawings of the product and not actual photos...makes you wonder.
Hi Glendann, There is an online database of plant companies free of charge: http://davesgarden.com/gwd/c/928/ According to customers who have posted their experiences with Gardener's Choice, they have the following feedback: 19 positives 23 neutrals * 168 negatives * I'll leave it up to you to decide, but based on the comments, I would find another place to shop. They are also affiliated with the following companies: Spring River Nurseries Inc TomatoGiant.com GardeningTouch.com Is there something in particular you were thinking of ordering? Maybe we can help you find it elsewhere, or provide the true lowdown on the plants. KM
Paulownia tomentosa... Hi Glendann, We are in zone 7-ish and have an Empress in our yard. It has been there for years without doing much. Our neighbor has had one for longer, but even hers almost dies back to the ground each year, having to start all over. For some reason, in our area, they don't do well enough to become invasive, much less bloom. But, there is always a chance. KM
It spreads billions of seeds but if your's doesn't do well it might not be a problem. See this link http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/391/index.html
Wow, wuvie, what a waluable website!!!! I always wonder about those places. I send an order to Henry Fields a couple of years ago, carefully budgeted how much I could order, then some of the plants never came *scowl*
Yes, Paulownia trees are VERY invasive here in Tennessee. Of course I have one though. It's a beautiful tree. I keep the crown cut out so it will make big leaves for birdbaths. 8) Wuvie that IS a great website. I always suspect any company that doesn't use real photos.
