Perennial Flower Plugs, Seeds and Liners: 

All Garden Leader perennials bloom 1st season. Grimes 

presents the Garden Leader brand of Perennial flowers. 

Garden Leader perennials have better garden vigor, longer 

blooming seasons, brighter colors, bigger flowers or better 

winter hardiness than the normal market varieties 

available. We know this because Garden Leaders are 

selections of varieties that perform better in field trials 

across the country. 

Perennial Flower Plugs, Liners and Bare Root: 

Most of the Garden Leader Perennials listed here are 

available as plugs or the larger sized liners. 

Plugs: 288 trays sold as 280. 5 trays per box. Minimum 

order one box. 

Liners: Grower PAT: 102 trays sold as 100. Minimum per 

variety is 34 plants in the Half-Pack size strip tray. 

Minimum order is one box. One box holds 3 whole trays, 

9 Half-Packs or combination. 

Grower SHR: Selected varieties as noted grown in 102 

tray sold as 100 or as 51 size half packs. 

Bare Root: The easiest and fastest way to grow and sell 

perennials. Plants come bagged and labeled in a dormant 

state ready to pot and grow. Minimum per variety ranges 

from 5 plants to 25 plants depending on variety. Minimum 

order size about 100 plants depending on value. 

Perennial Flower Seed: 

We assure you that all of our Garden Leader Perennial 

seed is kept in our up-to-date storage facility and has the 

highest vigor available. This means that more seed 

germinates and the seedlings produced are stronger. Like 

all Garden Leader Perennials, these varieties flower in the 

first season.
