Recommend a good pond plant dealer?

[Jennie Beth]

Hi all,
It is a little early still--froze again last night--but I am making my plant list for the pond. Seems like every place out here has the same four kinds of plants and that's it. Can anyone recommend a good mail-order pond plant dealer...preferably with a good, old fashioned paper catalog available? I am partial to curling up and leafing thru a catalog rather than sitting at the computer--and that way I don't have to get in line six weeks in advance to get a turn between the kids and the husband!!

Thanks everybody, am loving reading all the threads, especially some of the old ones:read:

The only one I can think of with an actual catalog is William Tricker.

You can request a catalog on the website.

Drs. Foster and Smith have some water plants in their catalog but you're not going to get a good variety to choose from.

Most pond plant sources are websites.
These are good.
