I'm a plant lover, just like you, so I'm inclined to experiment with new varieties as they come to market, and you'll find them included in some of our combos. That said, though, eGardenGo isn’t an exhaustive directory of every plant available on the nursery shelves — have you counted how many varieties of pink-toned echinacea, burgundy heuchera, or dwarf red-leaf maples there are out there?
So, what to do if you can't locate that exact variety in your local market? Is the combo a bust? Absolutely not. These four tips will help you make substitutions that maintain the integrity of the combo, tell a story in keeping with the combo you’re trying to recreate, and keep you in the game.
P. S. I'm very pleased to welcome Cornell Farm Nursery as a platinum level sponsor and look forward to introducing you to this wonderful Portland area nursery. If they're already on your nursery-hopping route, let them know you're also a fan of eGardenGo next time you're in. If they're not on your radar yet, I hope you'll get a chance to visit soon.
