The month of June is "Perennial Plants Month"! But instead of purchasing greeting cards, we invite you to invest in the wonderful plants that reliably emerge from winter's grasp year after year making our gardens and homes look so lovely.
We have a large selection of perennial varieties in a rainbow of colors. There are the usual tried and true which are mostly native, so that means they are tough and reliable. There are quite a few new selections and a terrific collection of Asclepias. For all that didn't know, Asclepias or Butterfly Weed as it is more often called, is the only food source for the beautiful Monarch butterfly. Since we as a population use too many chemicals on our lawns and along our ditch lines, this plant is in decline and extrememly difficult to find in the wild. The Monarchs are on the verge of exstinction so we implore everyone to introduce at least one Butterfly weed in your gardens and help us save the Monarchs!
We still have some nice, healthy vegetable plants for those just getting started and a good selection of colorful annuals to spruce up that back patio or front porch.
Stop in and say hello and take advantage of any "Specials" we have going on...
Milkweed Incarnata - Monarch's food of choice!
