Seeds Perennial Where can I find perennial seeds for sale?
A few of my closest friends and I are trying our hand in permaculture this year and are looking for many perennials. We live in a temperate climate in southern Michigan, zone 5. Seed bank searches online only come up with medical mar. Thanks so much in advance!
*** To add to my original question: Flowers - blooming during as many months as possible. Herbs, fruit/nut bearing shrubs, shallow pond plants...the list is long and rather specific. I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable seed bank of this nature and could pass on their information.
In what quantity? What type perennials......I'm assuming flowers of course, but garden or wildflower? Have you tried wholesale perennial flower seed search or something similar? Perennial seeds will be difficult as most breeders into hybrids.

Finding perennial cucumber, edible air potato, and salt bush either seeds or transplants.?
I'm looking for 3 seeds/starter plants for my outdoor container garden (I'm in zone 9 on coastal central california): Perennial cucumber (will be grown on a large trellis in a container), EDIBLE air potato (not the toxic weed kind- like I said, will be grown in a container, so I intend for it not to spread), and salt bush (which will be planted in the actual soil). Can anyone tell me where to find any of these as either seeds or transplants? They're somewhat hard to find! Thanks in advance
Most people haven't heard of these particular items- but they're all featured in perennial edibles type books. It's amazing how, with a little learning, we can have many perennial vegetables in our gardens that require little work! You just have to find them first, lol.
I haven't heard of any of the plants you mention anywhere!! A perennial cucumber is a great idea, but I don't think anyone has managed to make one last the winter. I sure wish you luck on your journey.

Coneflower Seeds I planted my coneflower seeds too early. There about an inch high and I want them to live to see spring. Help?
I have a few Jiffy trays going. The seeds all said they needed about two weeks to germinate. They took off in about 3 days and they are touching the top of the dome. I tried removing the dome on one tray and they all started to wilt. The soil seemed moist enough not sure why? Even tried spraying water on the leaves. Nope they where not happy at all. I put the dome back on and it seemed to help the few that survived. Also running into mold issues. Are these plants too young to put in a frosted ground with more frost on the way? What are my options?
Sounds like your little plants have fallen to the demise of "damping off" which is a fungus problem. You might try planting what's left and covering them with shredded newspaper. If you have a paper shredder it would be great.

i want a butterfly garden, but the plants are sooo expensive?
could i try to grow them from seeds or is it to late for this year? i live in zone 5. if it is to late and i want to do this for next year, when should i be starting the seeds indoors? i have never grown anything. here is a link to the garden that i am going to try to grow. it is the second one. i also want to include some coneflower and some blazingstars http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gardens/butterfly/designs.html
anytips are appreciated
Coneflower (ecchinacea) isn't too expensive to purchase a few plants to start with--they spread quite widely after a year or so (ask how I know ) and wood violets can be divided if you know someone who might like to thin theirs out. Spearmint, or any mint for that matter, should not be put in the ground, but kept in pots, it spreads like wildfire and is very difficult to get rid of (I have experience with that little mistake, too ). Digitalis (foxglove) can be seeded directly, as can bee balm (bergamot), which, btw, also is invasive. Columbine can be seeded, but it takes a long time to come up, that's one for the fall. Some of these others are also best seeded in the fall for next year. Yarrow, btw, is also good direct seeded and a lovely butterfly plant for zone 5.
