What is a good website to buy flower bulbs and seeds?

I want to start my first garden in my new yard. What are some good combinations? I like azaleas and camelot lavender foxgloves.

What is a good website to buy flower bulbs and seeds?
Why go on line when you can buy now at the stores?





Sure it might seem a bargain but remember you will be paying shipping too.





Azalea's are good for a spring show so are Rhododendrons, I also like Forsythia.





Bulbs are best bought in the fall.





Peony's are in the store now if you like to bring in fragrant flowers for the house, Clematis one of my favorites:

Have fun

I enjoy buying my plants, bulbs %26amp; seeds locally, but it's really nice to be able to have other resources available when I can't find them in local garden centers.





Good luck!!! Hope this helps.

Reply:Things like azaleas and common plants are great to get locally. There are a lot of varieties that you can find at your local store and get a great deal. As far as bulbs are concerned, you will find the best variety on-line and be able to get the most unusual plants that your neighbors won't have. I like parkseed.com Dave's garden is a great website also. There's also gardenweb.com, you can find local people in your community to discuss any problems or successes you may be having and possibly exchange plants with local gardeners. It's a great website.





Good luck and enjoy!
