There is still a considerable collection of Bluemel's famous and excellent ornamental grasses, bamboos, ferns and perennials, with sparse information and no photos. Prices are moderate (for mail-order) and discounts are given when you order 5 or more of a single variety. It's odd that the $50 minimum order is still specified on the order form but is not mentioned in the Order Information on page 2. Looks like the company is trying to find its new footing. Kurt Bluemel Inc. is apparently ONLY online now, at where he is clearly more interested in selling wholesale, but also takes retail orders. The site is well designed but looks unfinished. I browsed for a while and didn't see many photos. Wonder if retail orders placed online are handed over to his sister's company for shipping. |
