| So you would be selling the finished plants, not the bare roots themselves? If so, I'd agree that bare roots are not the best way to start - depending on supplier, you will get very mixed results with a high percentage of failures. It is just difficult to maintain bare root perennial stock in a viable state long term. You'd probably fair much better buying in plugs and those are available from countless suppliers both in this country and abroad. A good many will be patented plants so be prepared to pay premium prices for those. Is there a really good way to start perennials besides propagating? I'm not sure I understand your question. Propagation is the process of starting of new plants, period. You can accomplish it by various means - seeds, division, cuttings, layering, tissue culture, etc. - but to get more plants, you gotta propagate by some method :-)
