Special, New Little Things…

Just a few exciting things to notify you all about…

The Amaryllis bulbs are in and are the most beautiful, largest varieties I have ever seen. Think about the beauty of them combined with your poinsettias! They also make wonderful gifts for the gardeners in your life. Important note: If you want them to bloom for Christmas, you need to plant them now.

 

Crab Pot trees are also in and selling quickly. Please let us know if you are planning on purchasing one so we could put them aside.

We are also taking orders for our handmade wreaths and the poinsettias.The wreaths we make in many different sizes and in either boxwood, Fraser fir or mixed greens. They are all fresh and made to order when you would like to pick them up.

Our Poinsettias are starting to show some nice color and will be filling up the greenhouse during the week of Thanksgiving – all colors and sizes and all beautiful!

There is quite a selection of orchids in 4” and 5” pots along with a wonderful array of new colorful containers in our greenhouse. Won’t they look smashing combined with a poinsettia and a lovely maidenhair fern?

One more thing… all of our Knock Out roses and Drift Roses are now 1/2 price! Might make a nice Christmas gift!

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…
