Also don't dismiss the big box stores. I've found some goodies there too. Whip out your cell and check out a plant's requirements if you don't know. Don't always depend on the tag. "Full sun" in most of the country is a whole lot different from Florida full sun. And...no matter how informed you are on a particular plant, it may still be a total flop - or a prize winner - despite the requirements on the tag versus the conditions in your garden. If you're drawn to a particular plant but not sure it will work for you, buy one as a trial. I've shovel pruned my share, but have found winners along the way too.

RANDOM THOUGHTS
The common plants. If, you are looking for unusual varieties they are easy to find on the internet from a mail order seller. The plants will often be bare root to save on shipping. IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER-if a plant is rare the reason is often that it is a new hybrid or difficult to grow-slow-not easily divided ETC-That reads as EXPENSIVE.
Might be interesting to post a PLANT EXCHANGE. I'm looking for RED compact daylilys and could trade large flowered compact yellow ones. I also have named variety-I'd have to look it up purple Louisiana Iris-do great in your wet spots. Also have canna lilys to trade
