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%26#039;s are good for a spring show so are Rhododendrons, I also like Forsythia.





Bulbs are best bought in the fall.





Peony%26#039;s are in the store now if you like to bring in fragrant flowers for the house, Clematis one of my favorites:

I enjoy buying my plants, bulbs %26amp; seeds locally, but it%26#039;s really nice to be able to have other resources available when I can%26#039;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%26#039;t have. I like parkseed.com Dave%26#039;s garden is a great website also. There%26#039;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%26#039;s a great website.





Good luck and enjoy!
