Be cautious buying perennials here if you want them to come back next year!!! I bought 4 hostas here last year and planted them next to a 5th hosta purchased at the same time from another local nursery. I was looking for a specific kind and was unable to find all 5 I needed at one location, hence buying them from 2 different nurseries. Of the 4 hostas purchased from Cal's, 3 didn't come back at all this year and 1 is a fraction of the size they should be (circled in orange, the thriving hosta circled in purple is from another local nursery). I called Cal's today and they wouldn't do anything to make it right, saying they only guarantee for "one growing season". I guess I'd like to know why you are selling hostas/perennials that don't come back after one winter.... you should be calling your hostas annuals, not perennials! Very, very disappointing that 1) their hostas didn't come back this year and 2) Cal's doesn't stand behind their products.
