The availability of specific perennial varieties is dependent entirely upon the quantities
and varieties that our growers have available. Weather, crop failures and other circumstances
beyond our control may also affect availability. If you're looking for a particular variety that
isn't listed here, we'll be happy to try and find it for you through one of our growers.

These varieties are known for their reliable spreading habits. While all of them stay relatively
low, usually 8" tall or less, some are considerably more aggressive than others.
