I googled Michigan native plants and came up with this one. There are many others. Search for a native plant society in Michigan and that will give you more info. Here is a link that might be useful: Michigan native plants

This is an old thread, but...I ordered from Spring Hill last year, before I knew that this website and Garden Watch Dog existed. I actually thought they were fine...but that was also my first (and to this point, only) time ordering plants through the mail. A couple of things I ordered were missing, but I called and told them the day I received my shipment, and they sent the missing plants right out. Everything looked healthy and did just fine last summer...I ordered a passion flower vine from them and was astounded at how quickly it grew and how healthy it was. Maybe I just got lucky!

I have had good luck with MB (and the associated companies) also in the past few years, receiving healthy, well packaged plants that have for the most part done well. Some losses were due to my ignorance, or unsuitable growing conditions (took me a long time to realize that my yard is too wet in late winter/early spring for many things). I can't think of anything that was in poor condition, unlike my experience with Wayside. Maybe my luck is due to my location, only 100 miles from their headquarters. I usually buy things at end of season clearance or with their best specials, so I don't expect the best stock, yet have been just fine. I know that some of their products are obtained from the same suppliers as better rated nurseries -- you can tell by the packaging and labeling. for example, I got a bulb mix once that was supposed to be purple-- and bloomed orange -- was the same bulb mix sold by several other unrelated nurseries, so I couldn't blame MB, but they sent me a new package no questions asked. However, they seem to operate "close to the bone" and do run out of stock and/or don't get new supplies of an item, especially if it isn't one of their mainstays. This fall it seemed that they are doing a little bit better at showing what is out of stock on their site. They have definitely had issues with the outsourced customer service, hopefully those issues have been resolved.

Thanks Patty, Regans has it....... $7.99 is still a good price for a band. It should grow fast. I want to add more fast repeat colors to the mailbox, so I just added 2 more Bonica to the order. :-) I thought I saw Bonica at Walmart last spring/summer. Julie, I hear you. Looking at roses now, not buying a lot this year though, I have to make room for all the roses bands in the basement ( 20+ rose bands), and plus 2 more orders of rose bands are coming, and Palatine's rose orders.........is sub zero over there?! That's really cold in Chicagoland!! It's 18F here and very windy.
