“PERENNIAL SEEDS” 

ALL GARDEN LEADER PERENNIALS ARE THE FIRST YEAR FLOWERING: 

All Garden Leader perennials bloom 1st season, no vernalization required. Garden leaders offer longer 

blooming seasons, brighter colors, bigger flowers or better winter hardiness than the normal market varieties 

available. We know this because Garden Leaders are selections of varieties that perform better in field trials 

across the country. 

PERENNIAL FLOWER SEEDS: 

We assure you that all of our Perennial seed is kept in our up-to-date storage facility and has the highest vigor 

available. This means that more seeds germinate and the seedlings produced are stronger. Our seed part 

number is listed beside each variety name. Use this number when ordering seeds. 

PERENNIAL PLUGS AND LINERS: 

Most of the Perennials listed here are available as plugs or the larger sized liners. 

GARDEN LEADER PLUGS & LINERS: 

Plugs: 288 trays sold as 280.5 trays per box. Minimum order one box. 

Liners: 102 trays sold as 100. Minimum per variety is 34 plants in the Half-Pack size strip tray. Minimum order 

is one box. One box holds 3 whole trays, 9 Half-Packs or combination. 

Our Plant Professionals are always ready to assist you by answering your questions, email Sales@Grimes- 

Hort.com or fax to 440-352-1800 or phone 800-241-7333. 

PLANT TAGS: 

Picture tags are available for most perennial varieties. Order your tags with Grimes or simply request that we 

“auto-tag” your seed or plug order. You will receive the correct number of Pixie or Master tags for your
