The Great Rose Pre-Order 2023 - Update
We have placed our orders with our various rose suppliers and are planning a very exciting and expanded selection of roses for you for 2023. However, our suppliers will not be able to confirm our orders until the fall so we are going to hold off on aunching pre-ordering until our orders are secure and you can order with confidence that all the roses should be available.
Make sure to stay subscribed to or sign up for the Rose Alert to be the first to know when we launch pre-ordering! When we launch pre-ordering subscribers to the Rose Alert will have a few days notice before we tell anyone else!
Main Mail Order Catalogue
864 Amazing Garden Plants for the Upcoming Season including 300 New Plants!

We are so excited to launch our Main Mail Order Catalogue for the new season. We have so many amazing plants to share with you this year including more than 300 plants that are new to horticulture or new to our mail order catalogue.

IMPORTANT: This year our Pre-Orders have been migrated into our mail order system to make ordering easier. Please DO NOT mix plants from our Main Catalogue with our Pre-Orders and please don't mix Pre-Orders with each other. Orders must be placed separately for our Main Catalogue and for each Pre-Order. These various groups must ship at different times. If you do place mixed orders, we'll need to charge $5 for each separate invoice that ships to you to cover our extra admin time. Thanks for your help and understanding.

We welcome orders for both shipping and pick-up. If you're a pick-up customer, please follow this link to our Plants to the People page and read the "What type of customer are you?" section to understand how your order will be handled and for advice on how to best use the services connected with our mail order site.
300+ New Plants
We are truly crazy for plants at Phoenix Perennials so we love anything new and exciting. That's why we've added 300 new plants to our mail order offerings this year!

Most of these are new to horticulture like Delphinium 'Red Lark' pictured here. A few have been available before this year but are making their debut in our mail order catalogue for the first time. We don't know how you will decide which ones to get. We can't decide, so we just grow them all!

Check out our New Plants section to discover all the new possibilities.
