Perennials

​

This is a basic list of what we have for sale at the nursery.

We have many more plants, but because their stock is limited, they aren't listed here.

Things are constantly changing as plants are sold and others become available. It's best to email us at  info@fawnlilygardens.net with your order.

​

We check all of our plants every day - which takes time - and we are not always quick on the computer.

There are times when some species have sold out and we have to rebuild our stock.

Othertimes we only have young plants that are not mature enough to sell.

If there's something you really want, please send an email and we will see how we can help you.

​

Prices reflect how long it takes a plant to mature.

We sell healthy plants at blossoming age, often with more than one plant to a pot.

Younger plants are mentioned in the description.

3"- 4” pots are $5- $6

6”pots are $7- $8

½ gallon are $8 -$10

​

Cleaned bulbs are available in September by pre-order - or your good luck!
