Woodland Wildflowers

Below find our offerings of eastern American woodlanders; this year we are making available limited quantities of some of our best trilliums, to avoid disappointment order early. We also offer a fantastic selection of Asian and European woodlanders in our main perennial section. If you are unfamiliar with the Asian species and need some help give us a call, we would be happy to help you choose. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant. Our main issue is shipping damage which is avoided by shipping dormant plants, early ship dates are not only good for the plants they reduce the chance we will run out of something.
