Lindenberg Seeds catalogue arrived. Holy rock-bottom prices, batman!
Monkshood - 3 x $4.50 apiece (can probably find these in the garden centre, but not for that price!)
Astrantia 'Ruby Cloud' - $4
Bicolour buddleia - $4 for a 3" plug (less than 1/3 the Vesey's price!!)
Cannas - $6 for 3, so I'll get some Red King Humbert and The President for a total of $12
Heliopsis 'Venus' - $6
Phlox - $13 for 4
Eryngeum - $7 for 2
------
$60
Sweeeeeet. Definitely keeping an eye on this place in future!!

building a garden with little skill but boundless enthusiasm
About The Garden
This is my second garden, which I am putting in around my first house. When we got here in July 2008 the yard consisted of grass and a two-foot-wide border wildly overgrown with hydrangeas, ferns, daylilies, and weeds. I aspire to replace as much lawn as possible with carefree cottage-garden riots of colour and texture.
Location: Ottawa, Ontario
Conditions: Zone 5a; soft, well-drained soil that tends towards sand and probably acid, thanks to a big white pine; mixed sun and dappled shade

Important Note
Recent highly entertaining internet mob justice elsewhere got me to thinking, and I figured I should point out the following:
The only pictures on this blog that belong to me are those linked from my PhotoBucket account. I sometimes link to images from elsewhere on the internet, but this in no way implies ownership or permission - the images are used for illustrative purposes only (usually to show what plant I'm talking about when I don't yet own one or when mine is still shrimpy). If I've used an image of yours and you would like it removed from this site, please let me know and I'll take it down immediately. I maintain Poppycockles purely for my own reference and entertainment; it is not "monetized" and does not generate revenue for me in any way.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm trying to get them to send me a catalog in the US. Not working so far. Bugger!!
ReplyDeleteAlas, their catalog says they can't ship to the US at this time, so I think you may be out of luck on that front - if you check the Garden Watchdog on Davesgarden, though, you can probably find some equally awesome recommendations!
