I'm really pleased with the plants from Sunlight Gardens.

I got bare root plants in very good condition from "Prairie Moon Nursery". I believe they sell pots as well.

I have visited Tripplebrook Farm and brought a couple of very healthy plants. This coming winter will be the first time I mail-order with them but I am looking forward to it

They are based in western MA, not far from Springfield, prices are very good

well, i got all excited about sunlight gardens. now, after looking through the online catalog, i don't know if i can trust their information. my reason for this: it lists queen anne's lace as a native plant. it is not a native!

Here's the website for Prairie Moon Nursery. I've heard good things about them although I haven't used them myself.

Below is a link to a search page for a site that allows people to rate mail order nurseries. You can search for native plant nurseries, and then further narrow that down by location.

The concern fairy_toadmother had is worth keeping in mind. I know of at least one other nursery that misidentifies plants as natives. In the case I'm thinking of, at least one of the plants was invasive in parts of the country.

i am soooo excited! thank you both for posting prairie moon! who would have thought i would find blue cohosh and yellow star grass?

Thanks for all the suggestions. Has anyone used Possibility Place Nursery? It appears that they have a good selection and prices. Let me know.

Thanks again,
Bruce

well, i received an email from ________ at sunlight gardens concering qal l;isted as a native. it will be corrected.

i think it is cool that "they" are on the forums!

Gardens of the blue ridge has alot of different natives at good prices to. i ordered from them this spring and was very happy with my order. vicki

I've been doing alot of research trying to find wildflowers also. I stumbled upon Possibility Place Nursery. They're not mail order. You call and order from them and pick a date and time to pick up your order. I tried ordering from the place below last night...but their site wasn't working properly. Plus I'm afraid of their policy not to send out perennials until Sept. 19th. Seems like that's getting kinda late...

it looks like they sell the plants all in one set. $99 and up. i could be wrong though, because i became impatient waiting for it to load.

Some other options:

Prairie Nursery in Wisconsin (www.prairienursery.com)
Shooting Star Nursery in Kentucky
Niche Gardens

Try Ebay, lots of them are listed.

Try Munchkin Nursery. They are located in Depauw IN, really in Milltown. I see you are in SW IN, probably not too far. You can call for an apointment to visit. It really is worth a drive.

I have purchased plants from Sunlight Gardens and all arrived in excellent condition and have thrived. I have aalso purchased wildflower and grass seeds from Prairie Nursery and Prairie Moon Nursery with equally good results.
