Fall perennial sale going on now! Aug 30 - Sept. 30 Perennials are the fastest growing segment of the bedding plant industry and Palisade Greenhouse is continuing tooffer its line of perennials for 2010 with more new varieties. A well-designed perennial garden can provide an entire season of colorful blooming plants and then return again next year with even greater and more abundant color! With over 500 cultivars to select from, we're sure to have what your customers want! We also continue to expand our selection of "Plant Select" varieties. WHAT IS A PERENNIAL? The term "perennial" is intended to mean repeated or recurrent growth within the limits of the species and climate zones. Some varieties will not withstand winter extremes without covering or mulching, nor may they be able to withstand open, dry, winter conditions. The performance of each plant may be subject to a number of variables such as: soil condition, fertilizer amounts applied, watering, sunlight, elevation and temperature extremes. These factors may impact plant growth, blooming season and number of blooms. All of our #1 and 3801 perennials are intended for bloom the first season with just a few exceptions, but our 1801 perennials may not do so. Please discuss this with our Sales office or growers if not clear. Our catalog is intended for planning purposes only. The information provided is taken from a number of reliable sources and also includes our own growing experience and feedback from our customers. This information should not be construed as a guarantee of plant performance. DID YOU KNOW? There is a general "rule of thumb" called the "Bioclimatic Law" that states that for every 400 foot increase in elevation, bloom is delayed by 4 days? Click here to learn more detail. ORDERING TIPS HAVING TROUBLE FINDING A CERTAIN PERENNIAL? The perennials sold by Palisade Greenhouse are listed in our catalog by scientific or botanical name. Since many customers may not be familiar with those names and may only know a common name, we have created a list that helps you locate the botanical name if you know the common name. That list is located at the beginning of the Perennial section of our catalog if you have received one or you may view this list either as an Excel spreadsheet or as an Adobe PDF file. Click on either of the links below. Common Name to Botanical Name in Excel Common Name to Botanical Name in Adobe PDF (2 pages) NEED SOME IDEAS ON HOW TO PLANT A PERENNIAL GARDEN? PERENNIAL PRICING Our #1 perennials are priced in a "four-tiered" system shown by the letters A,B,C, or D on the price sheets. This is necessary because of the variations we experience in the production costs associated with each species. In some cases, there is more than one pricing tier for cultivars within a certain species such as Hosta or Hemerocallis. Please refer to our "Price List Clarification for Perennials" mailed out with each catalog. NEED MORE HELP? Horticopia.com, Perennials.com

Watch for the "PS" symbol in our catalog. Our perennials are grown locally and adapted to our extreme, Colorado climate. Most come supplied with descriptive picture tags, some are sown in rotating crops for later season blooming and all are a great value for the money. A well-cared for perennial plant may provide years of pleasure.
