Planters Palette in Winfield Illinois on Roosevelt Road - Rt 38. I have bought many things there over the years. Highly recommend it.

This may be a waste of time considering the time lapse, but if you ever get over near Ft. Wayne, here's a place I highly recommend.

Here is a link that might be useful: Blue River Nursery

Thank you. I stopped by Blue River Nursery about two months ago, and came home with a trunk full of interesting plants.

If the plants you've purchased, and liked, have the grower's name on the tag. You may want to cantact them, and find out who carries their product in your area.

You might try Cottage Garden(s) in Piasa IL. They have a great selection and delight in unusual plants. Check out their website.

If you ever get downstate, straight down I57, stop in Altamont at Alwerdt's. They have a wide variety, including your specifics, and have gardens that include mature plants of most of the varieties they sell. Annuals & perennials for sun & shade, shrubs, roses, aquatics, trees, vines, etc.

Helmick's in Peoria, IL have a huge variety of Hostas. They are more of a "backyard" greenhouse, but well worth the trip if it is close to you. Email me for directions if you are interested.

If you want to take a real road trip, try Homewood Farms (near Butler, Ohio) and Wade and Gatton Nursery near Bellville, Ohio. If you are interested in more information, e-mail me directly.

Hidden Gardens in Hinsdale always has some interesting surprises, The Growing Place in Naperville and Aurora offers incredible variety, and I'll second the Planter's Palette suggestion.
