Why is it that no flower/seed catalogs will ship to Alaska? - plant and seed catalogs
Neither the company, including the best known and most popular will be delivered to Alaska. You will have seeds, bulbs or live plants or trees. Does anybody know any place that? Or am I just stuck with the small selection of crap that Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Fred Meyers, ETC. I would like to choose a wider variety of flowers. And how can the flower shops to send, why not: "I order from a seed catalog?

I live in Alaska and on some shit in the local shops. Try my old standby favs:
Thompson-Morgan is usually to Alaska.
http://www.tmseeds.com/
I had to literally thousands of flowers (and vegetables, too) of seed is ordered.
Also check out Peaceful Valley Farm & Garden Supply:

they have very good prices and confidence in the seeds of the size of the packaging.
and Raintree Nursery http://www.raintreenursery.com/catalog/i ...
Raintree is my favorite berry bushes and small trees resistant. Try blueberries: Brunswick, Maine, Chippewa, North Sky and all the Patriot, it is not forgotten here in this cold acidic soils, that only so much water. Also good currants, black currants and Blue Honeysuckle, a bush, blueberries pleasant, with many great and produces edible berries.
I can imagine that perhaps the state of Alaska very strict limitations on what needed to be introduced in the state. Many Alaskan wilderness and nature reserves. Therefore, you can limit what is in full swing, not to prevent native plants introduced into the environment. Many native plants can be very invasive and damaging to native plants.
Another reason could be that the winters are so severe that non-native plants would not survive the winter anyway. Therefore, suppliers of seeds and plants must not only try to sell their products to the people of Alaska.

I Burb limit because they can be certain invasive plants.

Part of this also because when the plants are dispatched on the basis and a phytosanitary certificate is required to go through Canada, then come in Alaska.
