Camellia Special

Let us start the New Year out right!
We can stay indoors all bundled up with our cozy throw in our comfy chair reading our seed catalogs and dreaming of spring gardens or... we can design the perfect placement for a lovely evergreen, southern shrub in our gardens, One that presents us with massive amounts of rosy pink and snow colored blooms for months during the cold months. I am referring to the Camellia Sansanqua. The Camellia that flowers starting last fall and depending on the variety, is still blooming in the winter garden.

At Pinecone Perennials we are going to share our enthusiasm with all of you about this wonderful shrub by offering you a special, " you have to have one or two" discount . For a limited time all of our 3 gallon camellias will be buy one at regular retail price, and get the second half price.
We have beautiful varieties to choose from  so come and take advantage of the offer which will end January 10th.

A CHRISTMAS ROSE

A Christmas Rose...That is what we at Pinecone Perennials call one of our favorite southern evergreens, the Camellia.

The Camellia Sasanqua flowers early fall into early winter and most of the time are flowering in our gardens during the holidays, hence the name Christmas Rose.

We have just received a huge selection of different varieties in pinks, whites and reds in various heights and flower types. 

The Camellia does extremely well in containers where they will be quite content for a number of years. Replace your tired annuals and add some pansies around the base of the plant and you now have a lovely addition on your front steps or back patio for the entire winter!

We also have the largest selection of pansies around, all looking gorgeous and just waiting to color up your beds or pots for the winter season.

Just a reminder... It is time to start thinking about the holidays and amaryllis and poinsettias and wreaths etc.
We are now taking orders for both wreaths and poinsettias, please let us know if we could help you add some sparkle to the season.

Something new for those of you who have gardeners in their lives or are in need of unusual hostess gifts...We have lovely, special garden themed "just a thought" gifts, and will have a variety of orchid and poinsettia arrangements for your festive table or to take to the last minute holiday party.

Sparkle and color in these next few darker, colder months will help us all smile! Add some now to your living areas raise your spirit!

LOTS OF THINGS ARE GROWING HERE, AMONGST THEM, EXCITEMENT!!

We welcome you to visit us to see the wonderful colors of Autumn...

We still have many beautiful Mums in a variety of colors and tightly budded as of today so they will last into early November, weather permitting.

A terrific selection of fresh, new Orchids, large and minis, are just waiting to sit on your kitchen counter, dining room table or next to your favorite comfy chair. We have every one's favorite, classic white as well as many other colors. Remember, they bloom for 3 months if cared for and what a classy arrangement they can make for all the upcoming holidays!

Pansies, Pansies... We have 23 varieties here and they are all looking superb and loving this cooler weather. Dress up your containers with color and blend in some evergreen perennials to achieve the thriller, spiller, filler effect to be the envy of the neighbors!

Our invitation extends to you all...visit our greenhouse to experience a unique fall display the Pinecone way and bring the children and choose a pumpkin or two while sipping our "special" hot cider. We have traditional pumpkins as well as "Ghost" pumpkins (fun white), "Cinderella" pumpkins...they look just like her carriage, and "Pie" pumpkins, and the cutest darn gourds that you have ever seen!

A small note of importance...

As we approach the end of the year, we wanted those of you who have been part of the loyalty program that the points will expire at the end of our season in December. 

Due to the fact that we are upgrading our computer system, rest assured that we will be starting a newly structured program in 2014 to show our appreciation for your faithfulness and loyalty to Pinecone Perennials

Hi all, not to overwhelm you with another email, but we wanted to let you know our greenhouse at the garden center is full of wonderful orchids just in time for Fall.  Bring in your own container or choose from any one of our lovely Napa pots to create a beautiful arrangement.

Also keep in mind, all of our annuals and perennials are still 4o% off and new arrivals are coming in daily.  

The early blooming mums are here to brighten your containers and by the end of September the first flush of pansies and violas will be here!!!

If your summer crop of vegetables are finishing up, think cooler weather and plant the "Cool" weather veggie varieties

such as Broccoli, Chard, Lettuce, Collards, etc.

Fall is the perfect time to plant your trees and shrubs and the shrub yard is looking fantastic with new inventory coming in weekly.  Remember, we can check availability and special order you a tree or shrub if you don't find that perfect one here at the garden center. 

See you soon!  

Happy Cooler Weather Time.....it has to be right around the corner.......!

MAY WE INTRODUCE MAILEE!

Hello my friends. My name is Mailee (pronounced Mailee) which means beautiful flower in Hawaiian. I am the newest addition to the Pinecone family and am looking forward to meeting all of you! I am certainly the apple of my mom’s and dad’s eye and although I am very young, I am learning the ropes around the garden center quickly.

Please come for a visit soon and I will be glad to give you a few wet, puppy kisses.

We want to thank all of you who so graciously offered your condolences, sent cards, emails, phone calls, fruit baskets, donations in Rudy’s name etc. We were overwhelmed and so grateful for wonderful people who are so caring.It has been a difficult time (especially for Wendy at the store without Rudy) however, all of your loving thoughts have helped get us through and therefore able to enjoy the new little one.

We love you all,

Wendy and Rob

       We are heartbroken to have to tell the entire Pinecone family that our much loved "Bud" Rudy has passed away.  

He will surely be missed by all of us.The years go by so quickly it seems.  He has been with us and especially Wendy through everything.  Good and bad, thick and thin, steadfast and always ready to go to work. His cheery welcome greetings every day between all the flowers was a comfort and made us all smile.  

 To everyone who let him brighten their day a little when you visited over the past 12 years and in turn made his day as well, we can never thank you enough.

Wendy and Rob Graveman

“SAVING THE MONARCHS”

SUMMER CLASSES

BEGIN…

“THE IMPORTANCE OF

NATIVE PLANTS”

and

“ATTRACTING BUTTERFLIES”

Saturday, June 1st 10:00Sam

We are now growing many native perennials and a number of plant varieties that attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

Come listen to Rob, our grower, speak about these wonderful plants and see why this topic is his latest passion!

WEATHER OR NOT!

Despite this crazy weather, our garden center is bursting at the seams with color in every variety of flowers, shrubs or trees!

We now have over 125 varieties of perennials! Amongst the wonderful tried and true types such as coreopsis, Echinacea, salvias,etc. we now are specializing in many terrific selections of “NATIVE” perennials. These natives are usually drought resistant, long lived, and most exciting, DEER RESISTANT! They are also known to attract hummingbirds, butterflies and are a great food source for our declining bee population.

“The Glade”, our Pinecone Perennials botanical garden is now in full bloom with azaleas, camellias and other beautiful plants. Why not take a quiet stroll down the winding path and allow the natural beauty to calm and delight your senses?

"ART IN THE GARDEN"

with

RICH DANIELS

Local Artist will display his very beautiful pottery, fused glass and stained glass pieces in amongst our orchids and other plants in the greenhouse and throughout the garden center

All artwork is unusally beautiful, one of a kind and can be purchased

We are here to help, come visit us! See you soon.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

TERRARIUM CLASS RESCHEDULED

Unfortunately, the company from which we ordered our selection of terrariums has told us that the shipment will not arrive until next week. With that being said, we are going to reschedule for next Thursday, March 28th from 6-8pm. We are hoping that this is not going to inconvenience anyone and also hope that those of you who have signed up can still come - it will be worth the wait!
 Please pass on this message to anyone you know who was planning on coming.

KOKEDAMA SUCCESS

Smiles, sunshine and sweet success!

A pro already!

Friends, dirt and Kokedamas....Perfect together!

Hello everyone! Saturday's Kokedama class was a terrific success!  Everyone was so creative and we enjoyed interacting with all of you as we played in the dirt!  We plan on doing it again sometime in June after the business of the spring selling season slows a bit.  Bring a friend and we will do it all over again!

Orchid Koke!

Spring has Sprung!

Oh where to start?  Hopefully the cold is a memory and the sun has found its way to us for good....We are so excited for Spring at Pinecone Perennials! It is always great to see familiar friends and new faces as we gear up for the season.  We have so much in stock already....Spring vegetables are here, lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, collards, spinach, beets and more..... 

We may be biased but our pansies are so happy. Color, color, and more color!  They will last till May and bring your cheer all Spring. One customer referred to them as the happy flower.  We agree!

 

But what we may be the most giddy about is our new collection of cachpots from Napa. Stunning colors, shapes and finishes.  Just waiting for an orchid arrangement, these will easily become a favorite in your home!

Finally, we wanted to share that our website pineconeperennials.com is up and running full of beautiful pictures for inspiration, we are also on Facebook so visit us on fb and like us please! See you soon!
