I did not order from them this year but last year I ordered a couple of times. I have to agree with you, it is a good company. We have so few these days. They are reasonably priced and good size plants and quality. I will put together a order we need to support the good companies. I have dealt with one online nursery that everyone raves about and I have not received many plants that survive from this company and cannot understand why everyone is raving about the company. Especially since their prices are so high.

White Oak is just across the river from me but I have never bought from them as they don't allow local pickup. Mail order only. Copied from the White Oak website. Some nurseries are selling small, tissue-culture "baby" plants. We refuse to do that. All of our plants are field-grown, not pampered, small greenhouse specimens. When we do buy tissue culture plants we make sure they're grown for at least two years after leaving the lab. Thus, you're getting plants that have lived through Illinois winter conditions. Small, baby plants are much more prone to winter kill than mature plants. Money saved by purchasing small plants is often lost in this way. So, if you find a source for plants much cheaper than us, please take the time to establish exactly what kind of plant you'll be getting.

June, I think I have the same plant but since I did not keep the label I don't know for sure. It sounds familiar the gold dust part of the name and mine is also a proven winners with lots of tiny yellow blooms. If it is I got it last year full with blooms and kept it in a pot, gets water every day and morning sun afternoon shade, it is starting to bloom again after trimmed it a little bit. It is the first pot on the bottom of the picture Silvia
