Perennial Seeds From Europe

Posted by Bruster z5MI (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 05 at 21:53
I have gotten some seeds of various perennials from a european supplier. Many of the seeds are not grown locally but are listed hardy to my growing zone. By seeding these and selling finished plants, will I be different than my competitor's? Is this a successful way to be different...offering plants that others don't? Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

| Well, assuming these varieties are not common in your area, they will be different. Which may or may not be a good thing. Garden junkies will like something different, the traditionalists won't have a clue what you're selling and will probably pass. I suggest lots of handout sheets and sales pitches. Hardiness zones in parts of Europe (England, I know) don't always correspond well to the US because our summers are so much hotter that some British plants won't do well here, even though they are "hardy". |

When you say you got them from Europe. What exactly does that mean? T&M is a "European" company. When you get your seeds from them the packaging doesn't tell you where the seed source is from.
When I buy from Harris (an American company) my seed pack tells me where they came from. So I buy from Harris and the seed source was Denmark. Did I buy from America or Europe? What I am getting at is how do you know what is the original source for your seed? |
