· To breed and introduce new plants into the trade

January 2014
Sales have finally leveled off after five years of dropping so this year we are looking not just to survive but
to thrive. One way for us to do this is to grow more of those plants that sell well and our list continues to get
refined with some of the best new plants including our own.
We have two of our own new Echinaceas both around 3’+ tall and uniquely colored. Hang Loose has long
orange petals with reddish bases on hairy stems above thin hairy foliage. Rocket Man has watermelon pink
petals also hanging down above wine red cones. The extra long blooms last over two months.
Our Three new Geum expand the color range into more orangey reds and gold which is not a common color
in Geum. Dark and Stormy emerges red fading to orange with the plants having both colors together on the
same plant at times. Wet Kiss is a deeper vermillion colored sport of Mai Tai with hints of orange as it fades.
Spanish Fly is a single gold with spots of red at the base of the petals along with red calyx and stems.
Two more intermediate Phlox compliment the ones we already grow nicely like Minnie Pearl. The first one
from the Chicagoland Grows program called Forever Pink is a long bloomer with reliable rebloom on 15”+
bushy plants. Then we have our own lavender blue Phlox pilosa called Bungalow Blue with fragrant flowers
in May, also on 15” plants.
Rudbeckia x Yellow Polkadot Bikini has been under our observation for a while and we finally have enough
to share. Round open mounds 24” tall and wide have thin foliage. Long blooming plants go almost two
months and are the perfect size and shape to transition from short to tall plants.
If you are looking for a long lived contrasting sedum that will not rot out from rhizoctonia Sedum Petrified
will fit the bill. It starts the season olive-gray with ham colored stems but as the season progresses darkens
to more and more burgundy red. Pink flower clusters in September on 15-18” stems turn cinnamon brown
and hold on all winter.
If you are looking to celebrate the Fourth of July in your garden you have to have Veronica x Spike. Low true
blue spikes peak on the 4th. Bushy plants have extra long spikes reaching 15” tall with clean green foliage.
It would make a nice companion to the Perennial Plant of the Year Panicum virgatum Northwind.
We have two new grasses with red fall color and quite a few in the works. Our third big bluestem, Dancing
Wind starts with more bright red highlights set against green beginning in August until the entire plant
is finally red in late September. The other, Sorghstrum nutans St Louis, has subtle orange red fall color but
stands out compared to the species, especially the silver and gray forms.
In April just in time for Spring my book The Plant Lovers Guide to Sedums from Timber press will be out. I
would love to do a book signing at your garden center and bring along some unique sedums to promote
and sell at the same time. While the book was mostly my endeavor I could not afford the time to learn and
photograph these great plants without my team of great employees. They are the ones that take our great
new plants from one seedling or plant to hundreds or thousands for the rest of us to enjoy. I hope each of
you are able to enjoy at least one of our great new plants if not more.
Socially we have added a Pinterest site to our existing newly updated in 2013 website, Facebook, and my
personal twitter account @plantsurfer, which primarily tweets about our new plants and posts right to the
Intrinsic Facebook page. Here is to a thriving year both in business and in your gardens.

Price Quotes
Price quotes are generally returned the same day as requested. Please call if you do
not receive a response within 24 hours. Price quotes are good for the calendar year
they are quoted in.
Pick Ups & Orders
While we do not require minimum quantity orders, we do request your help in making
peak season (April-June) orders less confusing by ordering in full case quantities. Full
case quantities are as follows: 6-1 gallon per tray; 12-4 1/2” (qts.) per tray. 2 and 3
Gallon pots will be sold individually. Our plugs come in 32 plug trays (2 1/2”), 50
plug trays, and 70 plug trays. Orders picked up at the nursery will be discounted 7%
with advance notice. Please note, due to the high volume of pick up orders, we cannot
honor the pick up discount without a minimum of 5 hours (1/2 day) notice.
Orders can be faxed to the nursery at (815) 648-2072 or emailed to sales@
intrinsicperennialgardens.com. For those interested in faxing orders, we have Order/
FAX sheets available. When faxing, please include all necessary information such as
pick up or delivery and requested ship date. When faxing additions to an order, send
only additions/changes or clearly state to disregard original order. Orders are pulled
only when we have a confirmed ship date.
Customers are welcome to stop and shop at the nursery by appointment. Please Note:
Spring backorders are generally ready mid- to late-June but are crop dependent. Also,
we can label plants with prices for a nominal label fee.
Recycling
We are happy to accept used one-gallon containers in good condition.
Weekly Fax / E-Mail List For Customers
Our weekly broadcast publishes plants that are blooming, budding, have showy foliage and are available for delivery immediately. This plant list is available for active
customers only. Just call (815) 648-2788 if you are interested in receiving Intrinsic’s
Blooming List weekly in season. You can also download the list from our website.
Email Orders
Email orders are now accepted at [email protected] (but, if no
response has been received within 24 hours, please follow up by calling us).
Our plants are primarily grown and overwintered outside without heat resulting in
Hebron Hardy perennials! Availability begins the first week of April and continues
through October. For best results order from our weekly list.
Delivery & Fuel Surcharge
Delivery is free for orders over $350.00 within 75 miles of our nursery. Orders below
the minimum will be charged $60.00 delivery ($30.00 local if we are already headed
your direction with another delivery). Outside of a 75 mile radius from our nursery,
delivery fee will be determined case by case with a minimum delivery fee of $100.
$1000 minimum order for deliveries over 100 miles. Due to uncertain fuel prices we
have a fuel surcharge on all deliveries as long as fuel is over $3.00 per gallon. Over
$3.50 the surcharge increases to 25¢, and over $4.00 per gallon the surcharge is 30¢,
with a $15 minimum fuel charge.
Currently, we have two delivery trucks, with a third in season. We do our best to
accommodate swift shipment of orders and delivery on the date requested. Generally, we ship one to three days from order date. We cannot give exact delivery times,
please call the morning of delivery to get our best estimate!
Gallon plants are shipped in trays that are unpacked upon delivery. Trays are available
for purchase for our current cost with advance notice. Trays kept by customers at the
time of delivery will be charged, and this fee will be added to the order invoice.
If no one is on site to help unload plants on orders of fifteen cases or more, a $25.00
unloading fee will be added to the order invoice. Orders over 24 cases will not be
unloaded without help.
