We are a very small (just one fulltimer) retail mail order nursery and ship within the US only.

We do not print a catalog.

West of the Rockies and the South East: We ship year round, weather permitting. East of the Rockies and the Rockies: March 1st until November 30, weather permitting.

 

Welcome to Edelweiss Perennials

We are a Mail Order Nursery specializing in choice perennials of which many aren't commonly offered, the good old and sometimes almost lost, as well as the new, as long as they are good garden plants and not over commercialized. 100% of all plants we ship are grown here and 99% of which we propagated ourselves. We grow many specialties other than Edelweiss: Alstroemeria, Cyclamen, Daphne, Gentiana and Primula (auricula, mainly) to name a few. Our personal favorite and foremost specialty, the Trumpet Gentians (Gentiana acaulis and the like) were often in short supply. After over 20 years constant work, we finally have a sufficient crop available. If you have never tried any or have had little success, we encourage you to try some of our vigorous plants.
