PRIME TIME PLANTING

Doesn’t it seem like there is always some reason to put off working in our gardens? Too wet, too dry, too hot, too cold, etc.

No excuses now! Fall is the perfect time for shrub planting! Cooler temps mean less watering, less stress on your plants, and healthier plants come next spring.

We have just received a large selection of fresh new shrubs in many varieties including some unusual  ones first time offered such as the “Dwarf Variegated Gardenia”.

Along with the long list of new shrubs, our pansies have arrived! In 25 varieties, they are sure to make a splash in your fall garden. We also have grown the new trailing pansy called “Cool Wave”. As advertised in all the gardening magazines and Southern Living, this pansy is not only cold hardy, but will flower consistently while spilling down over your window box or container creating a waterfall of color!

Add mums, pumpkins, pansies, ornamental grasses, fall blooming perennials, cabbages and kale to your beds or containers and the result is a wonderful  arrangement of fall color! Let us inspire you or do it your way…
