You can search the Andersen Horticultural Library's Plant Information Online. But be aware that they only include a selection of nurseries (those who post their inventory online). Most local nurseries are not included, as their inventory changes too frequently.

PAL Question:

Where can I find a list of foreign nursery catalogs?

View Answer:

We have many foreign nursery catalogs at the Miller Library, as well as a list of what we have. Call us at 206-543-0415 (every day but Sunday) or 206-897-5268 (during the week) and we can fax you the list. Or stop by and look at the catalogs. Library hours and directions to get here can be found here .

In addition, the Royal Horticultural Society has a plant finder online. Go to this link and follow the instructions. You can either search by plant or by nursery (name, region, or specialty).

The commercial website Dave's Garden has a section on mail-order gardening and nursery catalogs, including some foreign ones.

Garden Tool: In wintertime a gardener's mailbox is overflowing with nursery catalogs. Ordering plants through the mail greatly increases the variety of plants to choose from, but also carries some risk. Is the company reputable? What if the plants are low quality? Lower that risk by reading customer opinions of the mail-order nursery in question. The free database at www.Gardenwatchdog.com lists over 3,000 garden related vendors where customers can submit compliments, complaints or warnings. Businesses can respond to complaints to give their side of the story. This site can also be used to find all the nurseries that sell products in a certain category, like bulbs or hand tools.
