Hello!
After another seriously cold spell this past weekend, our temperatures in Connecticut are getting back to normal and we’re looking forward to more spring-like weather. The Red-wing Blackbirds have returned, and the daffodils are starting to push through the mulch! Many of you have already placed your Alpine Ivy Geranium order for this season, and if you have, rest assured we’re growing those plants for you now and getting them ready to ship out when you requested them. To those who haven’t had the time to go online and place your order, we encourage you to do that soon so you can to be assured of getting the colors and varieties you want.
We’ve added a new series of plants this season; the Calliope geraniums. We have them in four flower colors, and these hybrid plants will put on a great display of non-stop flowers all summer on vigorous, mounding plants. They are not an ivy geranium, and are much more mounding than trailing in their growth habit, so they won’t replace the cascading beauty of our Alpine Ivy Geraniums. They are however, an excellent choice for those places where you want lots of color without the trailing habit.
Looking ahead, sometime in July or August we’ll be sending out a call for photos of your planters, hanging baskets, and window boxes, or however you’re using our Alpine Ivy Geraniums, for consideration in our 2017 Photo Contest. Show us what you’ve done with our plants, and we’ll select the nicest displays as winners of FREE PLANTS for next year!
As always, we thank you for your order.
From the greenhouses,
Paul and Joyce Larson and the Larson’s Geraniums team
