At 300 varieties and counting, we offer one of the most comprehensive lists of herbs and scented geraniums in the country. If you would like us to grow a variety that is not listed in this catalog, we would welcome the opportunity to quote your custom orders. With the popularity of our Citronella plants ever growing, we have again increased production by a substantial amount. By continuing to increase our Citronella stock it is our hope to be able to better meet the needs of our customers. Please take a moment to look over the other programs listed in this catalog, as well as on our website. Our specialty herb ‘Pick-me-Up & Go’s’ are a great retail item that requires no additional growing time. They make a wonderful impulse buy for your retail customers.
