We are a small, family-owned, mail-order nursery, established in 1988, offering unique, rare, well-grown, and properly-named perennials to passionate gardeners around the world. Our love for interesting plants, and making them widely available, is equaled only by our passion for enriching the gardening lives of our customers. Plant Delights Nursery/Juniper Level Botanic Garden has one of the most extensive perennial trialing programs in the country. Despite being best known as a mail-order nursery, we actually exist for our work as a private 28-acre botanical garden, spiritual retreat center and plant research facility focusing on ex-situ plant conservation, plant exploration, breeding, and propagation.
Plant Delights is more than just a top online mail order plant nursery. We also have a mission to educate the public about great garden perennials. To that end, we spend quite a bit of time producing written material and make oral presentations to educate gardeners about perennial plants, their natural habitats, and how to use them in a garden setting. On top of that, Plant Delights Nursery holds educational classes and conducts tours for avid gardeners to teach them the best techniques for growing perennials in the garden.
Great place to see and shop for plants. Everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly.
Highly recommend visits during each of the 4 opens houses every chance you get!
In winter I read Plant Delights catalog, especially this recent one. My woodland garden is mostly flat and I search for plants and shrubs that can take some shade but add height to the landscape. I have made a dry stream bed to give a point of interest and also a dry pond with pottery fish from Fish in the Garden. They add drama to an otherwise selection of low plants.
Helleborus x iburgensis ‘Penny’s Pink’ is a multi-hybrid cross. The beautiful leaf patterning is inherited from H. lividus and it’s evergreen! Penny’s Pink is also sterile, so you won’t get unwanted seedlings. #plantdelights #helleborus #helleborepennys pink #evergreenperenn ial #lentenrose
