We have used both the common and botanical names for the perennials.  Many perennials like Lantana, Vinca, Salvia, and Thyme are called by their Latin names or close to it.  We used bold letters for the names most commonly associated with these plants.  Many plants have more than one common name.  Plants have only one Latin name and this eliminates confusion.  Latin names are much more common than you think.  Camellias, Gardenias, Magnolias, Plumbago, Mandevilla, and Oleander are more examples of  botanical names.

 We have in stock or will have soon the following items - call for availability:
