I didn't want to take a chance since husband really likes this plant too !
# 2 Aconitum Blue Lagoon .. I have loved this cultivar for a while and had to cave : )
# 3 clematis Blue Angel ... I needed something special to cover the bare side of my bittersweet vine .. something neutral and this flower looked perfect !
# 4 Panicum Prairie Fire .. I still have a deep need for ornamental grasses and this one fits the bill for later on in the year COLOUR !
# 5 Astrantia Venice .. a spectacular red for the shady side of the long strip.
I love those flowers and in that colour ? perfection !
# 6 Epimedium Roseum .. a barrenwort .. I had a weakness for one more to go on the hellebore raised bed where my first one is .. repetition can be a good thing right?
# 7 Echinacea Double Scoop Raspberry .. OK ... I admit, every year I collect an echinacea and this colour and form did intrigue me a bit .. thus here it is !
So .. pros and cons to Canning ?
Pros .. short distance delivery .. BIG plants so you get some satisfaction straight away.
Owner Chris, is easy to contact and discuss concerns with.
Cons .. it can be a bit pricey but you get what you pay for type deal !

I have never heard of canning perennials . They all look very healthy hope they all grow well for you ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
Good to know, Joy! I get their e-newsletter and have been very curious. I have never tried mail order but when I do these guys will be one of the first!
This is the company I'd like to try for next year, both this post and your last year's post, the plants have impressed me... I will definitely want to look them up online and see what I can find that is unusual but that may grow up here (without having to fuss too much to prepare it for winter)! Cheers~
Looks like you've got some planting to do, Joy. Hope the weather is kind to you.
I feel like I am right there opening the package. Unlike bills, it is fun to get this sort of mail! Between this and the last post, you have some nice additions to the garden this spring Joy.
Joy, I think you spent a lot of money, didn't you?
Joy, I thought you would have run out of room by now :) Two orders!! Following your sage advice from last years orders I recently received my first order from Cannings and was/ am very happy. Thanks.
Hello Elaine girl : )
Canning is south of us a little too long to drive there for me .. but it is one heck of a company for delivering BIG mail order plants with lots to choose from .. you should try it if you are looking for something special!
Ms S girl I truly do recommend Canning because the plants are so big and healthy .. once you try it you will know exactly what I mean!
Give it a go : )

Jennifer girl .. I still have to get your hellebore to you (I hope you don't think badly of me .. I have been knee deep in trying to get my garden up to speed)
Yes ! I am adding to the garden and groaning at the same time .. two more companies to go yet so stay tuned! LOL
Nadezda girl ... over all .. yes, I have to admit I went a little batty this winter and did spend or is that bust my budget ? LOL

Joy girl you will love the Raspberry Scoop coneflower. They have a gorgeous bloom. I hope you Indian Reds come out of it. They were so pretty. I cannot wait to see your new flowers in bloom this summer.
