The Plant Delights Nursery Perennial Encyclopedia is a compendium of all the best perennials we have offered in the past, but are no longer for sale (over 4500 perennials). We provide this perennial plant encyclopedia to allow customers to learn more about a perennial that they purchased in the past, and to get feedback about which plants we should bring back into production, where possible. The Plant Delights Perennial Encyclopedia is large and is presented in alphabetical order by genus.
