Culver's takes pride in offering an extension collection of perennials, including many that are hard-to-find and unusual. Every Monday of the season, our nursery gal Joann finds a perennial in the shade house that is looking particularly beautiful, you'll find it marked with a "Perennial of the Week" sign.
