I ordered from Digging Dog for the first time this year. They had a Valentines Sale on the internet, but I screwed up my order, so I had to e-mail, then phone, then phone two more times. When I finally got hold of someone they were very nice and took care of the order so I got the special. Then, they experienced big delays in getting plants from their supplier. This meant my plants were two or more months late getting to me. They gave me opportunities to cancel, but I did not...never thinking that brand new plants going into my soil just as my summer heat comes in is not a good idea. Bottom line, some of the plants died. I don't think it was entirely their fault. I should have cancelled the order. The plants that survived did wonderfully well, and I am wowed with the Rigoletto miscanthus I got from them. It has the purest white variegation I have ever seen on a grass and only gets 4'x4'. I have never seen Nichols Garden Seed and Nursery (Oregon) mentioned on this forum. They have a really great selection of flower, herb, perennial, and vegetable seed, their prices are reasonable and their packets have a generous amount of seed in them. I tried them after reading "The Bountiful Container" a couple years ago. Their seed packets had so much seed in them, that I have pretty well given them my allegiance ever since. I would also give high ratings to Forest Farm, Greer Gardens (the biggest plants I have ever received from any company), Plant Delights, Old House Gardens, Brent and Beckys Bulbs (a few perennials too), High Country, and Lazy S's. All these companies have excellent products and customer service. When I need large amounts of seeds of a kind, I order from Hazzards Greenhouse. They are a wholesale company, but do not have a minimum order requirement. Their seed is of an excellent quality and you can save ALOT of money if you need at least 250 seed of a kind. (With careful storage, I have been able to use one pack of marigolds three years in a row now.) I have also ordered plants from E-bay over the years. Once and only once was I ever dissatisfied. The plants were chrysanthemums, but the wrong variety. By the time I knew that it was too late to complain...

One thing is that Debbie at Silver Star Vinery has probably not updated her website yet for fall deliveries. Just checked-she hopes to have it updated in two weeks or so. Email her if she has a clematis you want and inquire about its availability. Another thing, most nurseries update their websites twice a year--once in the late winter for spring deliveries and once in the middle to late summer for fall deliveries. Check them often and when you see something they have that you want, order it then or you might be out of luck later in the season.

coldhardycactus.com also known as Prairie Storm Nursery sells cuttings and potted plants. They specialize in cold hardy plants. I've bought from www.intermountaincactus.com, too, and they are nice. Though, I think they need to improve their website with pictures and a shopping cart. Mesagarden.com sells bare root plants and this year improved their site with pics and a cart system. Though, I wish they still had the old text file type of catalog, too. The notes in the text files were helpful for searching for certain things.
