Welcome to Garden Perennials...the daylily and perennial plant nursery of Gail Korn in Wayne, Nebraska.

2008 -- Our 26th Year


     Our business is growing. We are continually trying plants new to us to find those that thrive for our conditions. What a thrill it is when we find winners! In northeast Nebraska, that means a plant that can take a licking and keep on ticking. With 3 acres of perennials, we don’t have time to coddle. Our plants have to be able to withstand sub-zero temperatures and blistering heat. They have to be able to bloom prettily despite all kinds of weather.  We had a very wet fall last fall and found two perennials that had been planted nine years before that finally bloomed. That’s too long to wait. Those plants will never be offered for sale by us.

     You’ll find a number of daylilies are half price if you want 5 or more. We’ve found this to be popular with gardeners who like to paint their landscapes with a big brush.

     We discovered long ago that the best thing about midsummer bloom in our garden was daylilies, and we continue to be wowed by the amazing choices in colors and flower forms. But we could never limit ourselves to one kind of plant. Within this website, you’ll find picture galleries of plants that we grow in our gardens and hope you can find some you’ll love to have in yours. You can peruse the picture galleries and click on a picture of your choosing to bring up more information about it. Or you can scroll through the descriptive plant lists and click on any that are underlined to bring up the picture.

     Drought is almost a perennial condition in Nebraska, so you won’t find plants that need to be kept constantly moist. Our average rainfall is 27”. But if you need plants for dry shade, we’ve found some excellent choices. These can be grown successfully under trees with very thirsty roots, such as maples and lindens.

     We are sometimes asked about the size of our plants. We send plants that we would be tickled pink to receive ourselves. We pot them here for garden visitors, and most require a 1 gallon pot or larger. For the price, they are a real bargain! Our aim is to get you to try our plants, and then we do everything we know how to do to entice you to become regular customers. We know that will happen only if we send you plants that survive, thrive, and bring you pleasure. Our plants are always outdoors. We think that is why customers tell us that the plants they get from us survive transplanting with little if any trouble. We firmly believe that perennial plants belong outside!
