Welcome to Edelweiss Perennials

We are a very small Nursery specializing in choice perennials of which many aren’t commonly known, 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. Out of the many specialties, we are actively hybridizing and selecting Alstroemeria, Dierama and Schizostylis. Gentians, another specialty of ours and a personal favorite, have always been in short supply, but we have been working hard for 10 years now to 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.

The “highlight” of this winter (2009/2010) so far has been the record cold. We had two nighttime temperatures as lows as 8ºF and 7º, sandwiched in between nights in the lower teens and days barely going over freezing. Since we don’t heat our cold frames at all, it will be telling as far as frost hardiness for many of our plants (like the first three pictured above) and a good thing in the long run.
