JOIN THE TREND TO BUY LOCAL.
Ritter Perennials are locally grown in the St. Louis area. They are only available at Independent Garden Centers.

When you buy my perennials 90% of every dollar stays in the area!! That's nine dollars out of a ten dollar plant!!  That's how you build a strong community!!  It's good for the environment too! Very little fuel is burned in delivering my plants. Some perennials are grown hundreds or even thousands of miles away.

We have been recycling way before it was 'Green'. Fourty five percent of our potting mix is from recycled plant material! That is pine bark and fresh rice hulls.We are also involved with the flower pot recycling  program at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. You can also recycle your pots at many independent garden centers! Just look for a grean trailor.

Click on the 'Retail Garden Center' page to find my plants near you. If they don’t have the particular variety you want, ask them to see if it’s available. Sorry, not all plants are available all of the time.

I only sell plants that I think will do well in this area. If they grow well for me, they will do well for you!!

Look at the What’s New page for exciting and new plants .

Also I'm a sponsor of Missouri Botanical Gardens 'Plants of Merit ' program. This is the gardens program to promote underused and very good plants for this area! Please go to  www.plantsofmerit.org
