About Perennial Express

The Finest Quality Plants

Perennial Express has been dedicated to providing the finest plant material for over 35 years. We have been family owned and operated since Lois Woodhull founded the company in 1973. We have a firmly established reputation for knowledgeable and helpful customer service, and our product is recognized for its superiority. We were voted Grower of the Year in 2004 and are devoted to maintaining our standard of excellence. Even our competitors admit that each year, we raise the bar.

Our Products:

We offer the largest selection in the region: over 1,400 varieties! Our inventory includes rare and hard to find plants, as well as the tried-and-true varieties. Each year new additions are made to our catalog. When selecting new plants, we research and seek out plants that have been improved (more disease resistant, truer color, etc.), to provide you with the best looking, most robust end product. We utilize our experience to sort through the hype and offer plant selections that deserve a place in the landscape.

Our Knowledgeable Staff:

Our staff of CNLP's (Certified Nursery & Landscape Professionals) stand ready to help. Our employees are gardening enthusiasts who have been in the industry for years, and are always happy to answer questions, and suggest comparable substitutions for your landscaping projects.

Other introductions include Festuca 'Elijah Blue' which won an international award, Cortaderia s. p. 'Icalma', and several varieties of iris, including 'Moriah', 'White Caps',''Song of Praise'.
