ABOUT US

Since 1984, we've been providing top-quality perennials to growers, landscape nurseries and contractors. With deep roots in landscaping, Gary's Perennials has stood the test of time.

In addition to the perennial businesses, we run a residential landscape design/build division. Designing with and installing the plants we sell has enabled us to see first-hand which plants work best in particular situations and settings. We draw on this experience to help our wholesale customers choose the right plants for their projects and for cultural information.

Visit our sister Company Perennial Market for a wide range of plugs: Perennials, Ferns, Grasses, Natives & Ornamentals. We offer thousands of varieties in the most popular sizes from the country's top growers in one easy-to-use catalog.

OUR PLANTS

Roots, Quality & Selection

We specialize in popular varieties of hardy, North American grown perennials well-suited to bare root culture (plants that can stand up to vegetative division and transplanting in field conditions). These are varieties with starchy roots or networks of rhizomes, too wide to grow as well in plugs. Astilbe, Ferns, Geraniums and Hemerocallis were early examples of our line. The list has grown to include hard to find and highly sought-after plants that meet the needs of today's designers. Many were added on request. And we cut the slower sellers. Our list has evolved into a catalog of some of the most reliable plants for use in large areas as distinctive groundcovers. It's a short list that sells large.

Sizing

Think of our roots as quarts without plastic. We wash off the soil to facilitate shipping, save you money, and reduce the carbon footprint. New customers are often surprised to learn that most of our plants are suitable for direct installation. Most growers finish in one and two-gallon containers. (Allow eight weeks to grow a typical gallon.)

Dennstaedtia 4 x 4" sod for in-ground planting.

Hemerocallis 'Happy Returns' 2–3 fan for 1–2 gallon.

Epimedium x versicolor 'Sulphureum' for 1–2 gallon.
