Anyone out there know of any?

Enjoy your visit.

My wife wished I had picked up the Gallardia Fanfare I debated getting. I'm not about to drive back 3+ hours though on the chance there are any left. (there were only two)

Thank you for the kind comments concerning W.W.. We try our best, sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail and learn. I hope we can continue to serve you in the future.

As always, you may visit us at www.wwgreenhouses.com, and you may email us with any questions you might have, free of obligation.

Chills - What were you looking for that we didn't have? And we always keep restocking during our open season, so I am sorry you missed the many Gaillardia Fanfare we had.

Again, thank you, and best wishes to you all.

I was looking for edibles, as well as a couple unusual varieties of common things, like those new coneflowers, or a clematis I finally had to get through mailorder, triternata rubromarginata (though the one I got was very small and may not make it through the winter if its a bad one).

I really like the Persecaria I purchased and I hope your claim on its hardiness is accurate.

If I make it back there (I'm 5 mins walk from Lake St Clair, other side of the state) I'll stop in again and get those gallardia fanfare.

Again, late to this thread. We don't make it a practice to post on internet forums, but I felt I should follow up since you replied.

The newer coneflowers were in short supply last year, as well as most varieties being limited to certain mail order companies due to patents. We weren't allowed to purchase many varieties from the growers for resale. This year, there are plenty of them out there, with many that are better than last year's crazes.

We have never carried the Clematis you speak of. Don't worry, it is a vigorous variety, and you shouldn't need a large plant to get started.

Please let us know if you have problems with the Persecaria. We usually only warranty our plants through the season in which they were purchased, but we try to do all we can to help out. Just let us know. Although, you will have a tough time killing it. :-)

As always, you can check our website out and contact us anytime if you are looking for info or for a certain plant. Perhaps we can even ship something to you if you are interested and cannot find it near you. Again, not a sales pitch, just following up.

Have a great 2005 season!

I still visit your site and should I find myself back out west I'll stop by again.

Thank you.

Actually, as you're in the industry, what are the chances of us seeing some of those hardy gardenia's in the warmer parts of Mi?

Chills - So sorry about the Persecaria. I find it strange as ours comes back every year. In fact, to keep it in check, we sometimes herbicide it (and other spreading plants) early in the season to keep it from spreading. Let me know how this one does, and if it doesn't come back due to natural causes, perhaps we can help you out on something else (since you bought the original one from us).

As for the Gardenias, we do not get into that area much. We have carried trees and shrubs in the past, but have dropped most of that line to concentrate on other things. To answer, my first knee-jerk feeling to claims of a "hardy version" of anything is doubt, unless we see it firsthand that it can survive. I am sure you would be able to find some at various local garden centers, but I would hope they inform the customers that "protection may be needed." :-)

sarv48 - Thank you again for your kind remarks. However, they are only donut "holes," to be exact. We would need the services of the closest 5 bakeries to handle enough regular size donuts for everyone. :-)

Hope everyone is having a good summer thus far.

Thanks,
