Canna x generalis 'Minerva'
Ordering plants by mail order is a great way to save time and find just the plant you need. To simplify your search, use the plant's botanic name if you know it since common names can refer to different plants in different parts of the country. Mail order nurseries offer a wide selection of plant varieties for you to compare and choose from. Many plant nursery websites contain a wealth of cultural information about growing perennials and other garden plants, too. Online nurseries often ship at the appropriate time for you to plant or can help you to determine when you should plant if you are not sure. Zantedeschia aethiopica is just one of the amazing perennials that can add a unique splash of color to your perennial gardner. For the advanced gardener, we stock a large selection of cypripedium (lady slipper orchid)
If you are worried that there is no salesperson to answer your questions when shopping online, many sites offer ways to contact them for further info -- live chat, email, or a customer service hotline. Before ordering, make sure you know what size the plants you are purchasing will be, since online photos often depict mature specimens. Some perennials may be sold as bulbs or corms, depending on if they are dormant during the time of year you order. Canna lilies are a great choice for a sunny area of your garden. Make sure you also become familiar with the guarantee and replacement policy of the online plant nursery.
