Colonial Nursery's Perennial List
You can count on perennials to add a beautiful accent to your garden year after year. We provide many handouts for sun, shade, and other conditions along with plant lists for hummingbirds, butterflies, and cutting gardens.
Please feel free to call for availability: (816) 229-1277
We have hundreds of varieties available; many are listed here but occasionally we have other items available and are sometimes able to accommodate special requests. Updated for 2013.
