I've used Germania Seed Company (www.germaniaseed.com) for herb plugs on
several occasions and found their plants to be just fine. I've also had some
mixed results with Richter's; the reason you state seems most likely
why.
Instead of coming from just one location, Germania sources
from growers all over the US. Their catalog is a nightmare to figure out
initially. Each grower has their own set of listings, so you may find lemon
thyme listed in 8 different locations. There are different minimums, tray sizes,
etc. but the prices are competitive, usually better than
Richter's.
Would like to hear of others folks have
found.

(already potted - small) other than Richter's in Canada (we will use them also
but have had bad results with buying live plants from them, perhaps because of
customs/border delays).
If located in the Southeast, USA, great, but not
required. Some species we need will be relatively rare/tropical (not what
you would find at WalMart, hah!)
Any companies come to mind???
