There is no comparison between Behnke's and Lowe's. You get what you pay for at Lowe's. Behnke's has always been a top quality nursery. Although Mr. Behnke is now deceased, he demanded that for his nursery. I shop at Home Depot because they are cheaper and only 1 mile from our house..real convenient, but you have to be there on the days the trucks bring in new stock from Bell Nurseries. I have not bought very much from HD this year because I wintersowed a lot of my plants, but the few times I've been there this Spring and Summer, I noticed the quality is not there and there are less Bell Nursery staff on hand to help you and answer questions. There were two Bell Employees that were really knowledgable; one gal was terminated last year and the man, I haven't seen him but maybe once this summer. Maybe he is at a different location. I do not go to Lowe's for plants, as they have never taken care of their plants at their Gaithersburg location, which is closest to me but still about 13 plus miles away. Is Kimba giving garden tours of her gardens?

Oh Lynn, I love the rebloomers! Thats the only kind in my garden. Just started a small collection. Would you be interested in trading sometime? I live in Ho.County, about 35 mins. from Behnkes. These are the ones I grow: white 'Immortality'; purple and white 'Autumn Circus'; and a dwarf dark purple( about 15 inches) that smells like grape bubble gum (don't know what its called) Let me know what u think...thanks, Cindy

wow! I wish they where closer. I have really been wanting some hellebores. I think they money I woud spend on gas would be much more than the savings!

Great sale!! my purchases include pachysandra procumbens (allegheny spurge)-- normally $22. Hosta selection was limited to the basics, but still very good late morning.
