| Hi I'm new to the site and to wintersowing but hoping to gain experience soon myself.Have been searching the net looking for canadian seed companies as a lot of them are fron the States and don't ship cross border . any suggestions. Also, any veteran prairie sowers who had had successes with the ornamental grasses over the years who might give a bit of advice as to which give a good show and which are hardy? |

RE: canadian seed catalogues

There are a few seed catalogues that I have been using for several years now:
Dominion Seed House
Vesey's
Garden Import
Stokes Seeds
McFadden
I have oredered seeds/plants/bulbs from all of these (except McFadden) and they are very good at replacing or issuing credits for plants that do not thrive. But since I started WSing I get a lot of my seeds from exchanges and use them mainly for bulbs and rare perennials. Even if you don't order, they provide valuable planting instructions and information, and photographs. I am in Ontario, but there is a 'prairiemon' on the mother site who could probably give you some advice. She has lovely pics.
Good Luck!! |

| There's also William Dam, T&T, and Gardens North. Trac2, if you check the Far North Forum, you'll find some info on hardy grasses as there are several people there who grow them. |
