I guarantee freshly dug plants, state inspected. I ship double fans or better except on current introductions. All the plants I offer have the hardiness imparted by being field grown. Although Portland is a mild zone 7, we do have some cold winters, so plants that do well here will generally do well throughout most of the U.S.

My primary hybridizing goal is to create plants that are good garden performers - vigorous, cold hardy, disease resistant, good plant habits & lots of blooms that open well. To that end, I have been working on compact plants with foliage that looks good even after the first bloom that continue to bloom until frost. My secondary goal is to create unique plants - either in flower form, flower color, plant size, or foliage color. Some of my seedlings have variegated leaves, some have striped flowers, & some have intense bluish tones.
