Best places to order plants/seeds? I'm trying to plan my garden for this year. I keep seeing everyone's beautiful plants and I'm super inspired but there's not really any garden centers or nurseries near me that carry a large range of smaller or more decorative plants. All the places I've checked out are either super basic or geared towards commercial landscaping/farming. I don't mind ordering online or from a catalogue but I want good quality. I'm in Virginia, USA.
Where do you all get seeds and plants from?
I have a list of things I'm looking for if it helps:
Heirloom tomatoes and peppers.
Passionfruit vines.
Container friendly fruit trees: cherry, tropical, or citrus (not grapefruit).
Canna lily
Ginger
Jasmine
Heirloom roses
Butterfly friendly wildflowers

I order most of my seeds from three or four places: Baker Creek Heirloom — rareseeds.com Select Seeds — selectseeds.com Park Seed — parkseed.com John Scheepers — kitchengardenseeds.com I love the planting charts that Burpee has on their site, but their seeds are way overpriced. I only buy from them during their half-price sales. I also buy lots of plants online. I get most of them from a few places like: Bluestone Perennials — bluestoneperennials.com K. van Bourgondien — dutchbulbs.com New Garden Plants — newgardenplants.com — and a few other places. Watch for sales, and always compare prices. Google is your friend!
